Sigh - alas, I know it is but a dream! Josh - J'adore the big crazy ruffled ones! especially when they have a strange ruffle in the middle of the leaf - WTF IS that? Whatever it is, I LOVE it! Hoover Boo - You had me at 'After Glow' - my front yard is dotted with them - they combine beautifully with just about everything and make such a perfect front of the border detail! And only ONE has been stolen in 5 years! (oops - I shouldn't have said that! Best never to tempt fate!) Darling Fern! Yes, echeverias like a little shade in our harsh SoCal light - most of mine are planted in dappled conditions, or are tucked under other plants that can give them a little shelter from the harshest afternoon sun. I am with you and "Boo" - if it is an echeveria, GIVE IT TO ME!!! XOXOXO!!!

I agree with hoover boo, I've never met one I didn't love. I used to think echeverias hated me until I realized that they couldn’t handle my full afternoon sun.

They are plants that can be loved wholeheartedly--no drawbacks at all. 'After Glow' is my favorite--blue and pink and lavender, with orange flowers. They do well in the ground if you can give them some slope, either a berm you make, or if you live where it's hilly. Never saw an Echeveria I didn’t adore.

I especially love those big, ruffled varieties. Echeverias are a weakness of mine, too! I especially love those big, ruffled varieties.
