I think that's actually E. pulidonis.

I think Andy is right on this one..

either way - its so pretty!

superficially similar, but notice the paler colour, much thinner leaves, and the slight crimping of the leaves on ep.

in addition, the rosette center is different-new leaves on vq are are stout from the beginning.

Maybe a side-by-side pics from above to compare? - they do look similar. Very nice plants.

rina, how are you? don't all glaucous-whether green or blue-rosette echeverias look similar?

i know that, for me, trying to i.d. plants from google pics is endlessly frustrating, particularly when we have no idea of the filters used-a real problem with vq-or the cultural conditions.

my pulidonis has never had more than an edging of red while the colour on the other continues to spread now that i've reduced the light levels.

-great, thanks! and hope you too :)

I have hard time to ID plants too, after few minutes they all look same to me. Where is Rosemarie???!!! - or anyone that used to help with ID's...

They sure look similar. Here they each are, listed on Young's Garden website; e. pulidonis appears to be more compact.

thanks harry-as always with pics all of those look like different plants-sigh-i guess it will be echeveria inconnu.

Daves- Here's mine. she's not looking so well right now. she was recently re-planted and has been busy sending out pups.

she's given me 7 pups so far..and signs are that she's got more on the way!

hi neil, but is it ep or vq?

nice kids, neither of mine have ever reproduced but will see what happens with lowered light.

It's a Violet Queen
