ECHEVERIA

Natives of tropical America, particularly Mexico. The lovely gray, and sometimes variegated, leaves are the chief attraction of this group, although some of the fleshy, rose-tinted flower stems-crowned with a spike of red or orange-rcd flowers-have their good points. The smooth leaves are clustered in rosettes and, to a degree, resemble the houseleeks (hen and chickens). The genus is extensive, and a great many species and varieties are to be found at florists and in catalogues. Potting Mixture 6.
