They are extremely variable, and leaf shape could change.

"...from leaf you can get any of those forms, even 2 leaf shapes growing off one leaf, and at any time they can turn into ‘Topsy Turvy’..."

Here is one of my 'Topsy Turvy' plants - the leaves have been quite stable in shape so far:

Please post a closer up picture of the one on top. It's the colour that is disturbing, not the leaf shape. If you give a gentle pull on a couple leaves, do they just come off the plant.

Rina,

Yes, it seems this species is very unstable. I don't like the way it is going, LOL, as I already got 'Topsy Turvy'. I love the way it was the first couple of years, then it started to slowly producing elongated leaves, and not as rounded as before, and not as uniform looking.

GCSolution,

The leaves are firm. It is just that I tried to photograph it last evening at dusk, and I took it inside near a window to take a shot of it looking down. The color of the leaves in the first photo is about the same as the one in the third photo which was taken outside earlier on.

It may turn into Cubic Frost...:)

I know how you feel - I have quite a few. They grow offsets quite prolifically.

Just took a couple of better photos again in the early morning light, please disregard the peaty looking potting soil, those square pots were in straight cactus/succulents potting mix I used in 2013 when I first started, I haven't re-potted all these years, although offsets have been taken off and planted in more gritty mix, LOL

Rina,

Oh, that would be great as I don't think I have seen 'Cubic Frost' for sale here, although I do like the one wavy leaf in my mutated plant. I wonder if I took that leaf off and propagate it, it would retain that wavy characteristic in the baby, LOL.

Rina,

I love the color on your 'Topsy Turvy'. My E. runyonii is darker at the moment because we are just coming out of winter. The temperature in the daytime is just starting to creep into the low 20C in the past week, so the plant is still in its winter color. In fact, I did not take much picture of this plant, so was actually surprised to see how blue it was in the summer of 2013 after I pulled the photo out of my file :)

What I hate about my Topsy Turvy is how it takes over the pot with all those tiny little new growths.

I never noticed any changes in my offshoots. Seem to stay Topsy Turvy.

Every year I break off sections and gift out.

Stush,

Those are big rosettes of 'Topsy Turvy'. I kept mine in a small pot (4"), and it also pupped like crazy even when I underwatered it, LOL
