Echeveria is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Crassulaceae, native to semi-desert areas of Central America, Mexico and northwestern South America.
This particular silver Echeveria I have has been prolific in its flowering this past 6 months. These were the seventh set of stalks and flowers sent up, and I've had yet another set since the image was taken in August.
Seen here are the buds which will open in to flowers, just 10 mm or so in diameter. Hanging gracefully from tall, slender stalks, much loved by honeyeaters.
Main plant 30 cm diameter. Stalks average 30 to 35 cm in height.
