There is so many different types of Echeverias out there, crosses, mixes, variations that sometimes it is hard to tell which one I have. Unless they come from a nursery that bothers putting tags with names on them.
This one had no tag and no name so I had to do what I always - compare dozens of photos in Google an hope I find something that will match... multiple times to be sure.
I suspect it could be Echeveria Lola, but I am not sure. The leaves shape, colour and the slight pink tones show in google search too. The flowers are the same too. Is it then? sometimes some small difference mean it is a different one after all.
I might just call it Lola to make it easy for me :)
I got this one some months ago an it wasn't much smaller than this. As any other new succulent it was reported and put in a better soil and bigger pot. It grows a little bit up instead of in getting wider. I am not sure if this type is just generally small, or it doesn't like it here. I would love to the rosette go bigger.

Few days ago I picked a leaf from it and will try to propagate it this way. It works for most echeverias, there are some exceptions though, or at least it never worked for me with some.
I should know soon enough. The leaves normally start to grow roots pretty fast and in a few weeks new plantlets should show up. Finger crossed. It will go to some community pot as it has a really nice light colour and will look good with darker plants.
Flowers are quite typical both with shape an colour. Nothing spectacular, though pretty cute. And they do photograph well too.
The leaves and the light colour is pretty stunning though. And this is why I got it. Most of th echeverias are grown for the leaves and shape anyway (plus the little care they require). The flowers are just a small bonus from time to time.

Yes, the flowers are just a bonus from time to time ;)
The jelly plant also grew a long stem with a few little flowers at the end of it. For me, impossible to take a photo of it 😂
Indeed, so many echeverias around so it's not easy to get the right name. But Lola is a nice name for this one 😉
I as repotting my jelly bush when it just started to bloom and I just cut all the stems off :p
The least attractive flowers. Cool to see now they look like, but once is enough :D
Indeed. The flowers of the Jelly are the least attractive of all. I think I will also cut it off haha :D
It's mad how they sprout like this... is it like a briar trying to reach out and start growing someplace else? Grow and sustain itself
Yea, do anything to survive. When there is one leaf left, it can still produce a whole new plant. Or a few. Pretty cool :)
Ya nature is amazing... I started out what one and they keep producing little baby Aloes!
Oh I think my mum has this type. They grow like nuts :D
Oh my!... Impressive shot!...
The texture is so precise that it seems to be able to be touched!
Lovely species and great shots @ewkaw friend!
