Posted by Baja_Costero (Baja California - Zone 11b) on Jan 13, 2019 12:19 AM Fairly old and variable intergeneric hybrid by Louis de Smet (from around 1870) of Pachyphytum bracteosum x Echeveria secunda. Leaves are powder blue to nearly white, and brighter with more sun. Flowers are typical for a Pachyveria and range from orange to pinkish red, sometimes with yellow highlights.
