I really don't have any idea, but I can say it's stunning Bob !(^_*)

Hi Stephania,
Gosh,I was hoping you might know. Forgot to mention that the leaves are VERY stiff,almost unmoveable,like a stone plant. Maybe one of our GW members from Mexico might know the ID ?
Bob

Very cool plant!
Bob, You might want to make an inquiry with Brian Weber (at Tropiflora). He has a pretty extensive collection of Hechtias, and he just might be familiar with it.
Paul

sorry, bob, not many hechtias around this part of Mexico.

Whoops ! TYPO ERROR.
Not 'DYCKIA' ID,.....
I meant "HECHTIA ID" [stupid computer!]
Well,meanwhile,I got an email from a friend who checked with Harry Luther,and the word is that its a form of H.TEXENSIS, said to turn a maroon-ish tone in the hot summer,and go back to silver in the winter. And thats exactly what mine did this year.
So,ID solved !
Thanks to all that participated.
Bob

Brian is not really into Hechtias, bromeliaddict, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

This looks like a Guy Williams plant in which case you might never get it IDd if it was field collected.
