Echeveria gibbiflora Hybrid ..

The flowers of E. fulgens are a good match, shame about the leaves. Maybe it's part of the parentage?

Echeveria gigantea:

A large plant in the Gibbiflorae group of Echeveria that rises up on unbranched stems to 18 inches and has 2 foot wide open rosettes of large broad spoon-shaped green to gray-green leaves that have a slightly wavy apex and reddish margin; older leaves flush purple to pink. It bears a 3 to 6 foot, usually unbranched, inflorescence with nodding rose-red flowers in late fall through early winter.

Flower stems are unbranched, how tall are they?

Echeveria gigantea flowers:

The flowers are reddish-pink within, but paler on the outside due to a powdery coating

Can I see powdery coating on the flowers?

Still others have large paddle-like leaves and thick stems, and the best known of this latter sort is E. gibbiflora, whose parentage is prominent in the ruffly-leaved hybrids which resemble ornamental cabbages.

The flowers don't appear to have the powdery layer as the rest of the plant has. The main, oldest rosette is nine inches across ant the flower stalk is 20in./50cm. or shorter. the plant has been in here for three years, or so, now. I had afterglow last year but it rotted. I posted it in the db. This noid I think is to small for Echeveria gigantea. E gibbiflora hybrid? To bad about the leaves? You mean the warty growth? They can be quite spectacular when there covered with it. Not to everyones taste for sure.

Sorry if I confused you, I meant the flowers match E. fulgens but the leaves don't.

It does appear to be an E. gibbiflora hybrid though.
