though I could be wrong, as some of the hairy Echeverias can be hard to distinguish. Take a look at some of the other photos in that entry and see what you think. If it's "Doris Taylor" it will fill a 12 inch pot given a couple of years, so allow plenty of space down the road.
They're so tough to tell apart. I have another one that looks just like this one, and it's around twice the size. Any features between the two that I should specifically look for to tell them apart?
Edit: Hm... the 'Doris Taylor' looks like it might tend to have denser hairs than the E. setosa. Does that tend to be a difference between the two? Or is that just our particular database photos?
E. setosa flowers are bicolored (red at the base/yellow at the mouth) in contrast to "Doris Taylor" flowers which are more or less uniform orange (sometimes more yellow and sometimes more red, but without the marked bicolor effect). I would say it's likely the plant in the last picture is "Doris Taylor".
Those big sepals pressed up against the petals are a pulvinata trait, not seen in setosa, so this is the hybrid. Image will be moved to the entry for 'Doris Taylor' shortly.
