Last week was very difficult, so I decided to reward myself with a new plant...
Now, he's not in great shape, but I kind of like him... The tag that came with the plant says hardy to 20 degrees... (zone 8) which means that it might be winter hardy here, but it might not... Like most echeverias, until I know of one that survived outside here, or until I can propogate it to test it, it'll have to come inside for the winter.
This plant grows a little differently from most Echeverias, growing longer trunklike stems, to about a foot tall. If I can get it in the rock garden, it will grow into a mound of these purple striped leaves....
