Echeveria Alata
''Echeveria'' is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Crassulaceae, native to semi-desert areas of Central America, Mexico and northwestern South America. Description Plants may be evergreen or deciduous. Flowers on short stalks (cymes) arise from compact rosettes of succulent fleshy, often brightly coloured leaves. Species are polycarpic, meaning that they may flower and set seed many times over the course of their lifetimes. Often numerous offsets are produced, and are commonly known as "hen and chicks", which can also refer to other genera, such as ''Sempervivum'', that are significantly different from ''Echeveria''. Many species of ''Echeveria'' serve important environmental roles, such as those of host plants for butterflies. For example, the butterfly ''Callophrys xami'' uses several species of ''Echeveria'', such as ''Echevelia gibbiflora'', for suitable host plants. Even more, these plants are integral to the oviposition process of ''C. xami'' and some other but ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Echeveria Elegans
''Echeveria elegans'', the Mexican snow ball, Mexican gem or white Mexican rose is a species of flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae, native to semi-desert habitats in Mexico. Description ''Echeveria elegans'' is a succulent evergreen perennial growing to tall by wide, with tight rosettes of pale green-blue fleshy leaves, bearing long slender pink stalks of pink flowers with yellow tips in winter and spring. Cultivation ''Echeveria elegans'' is cultivated as an ornamental plant for rock gardens planting, or as a potted plant. It thrives in subtropical climates, such as Southern California It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Like others of its kind, it produces multiple offsets which can be separated from the parents in spring, and grown separately - hence the common name "hen and chicks", applied to several species within the genus ''Echeveria''.

Atanasio Echeverría Y Godoy
Atanasio Echeverría y Godoy was an 18th-century Mexican people, Mexican botanical artist and naturalist who trained at the Royal Art Academy in Mexico. The genus ''Echeveria'' was named in his honour by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle. Royal Botanical Expedition In Mexico City in 1787, Echeverría joined Martin de Sessé y Lacasta and Mariano Mociño Suárez de Figueroa on their Royal Botanical Expedition to New Spain, which had the goal of compiling a great inventory of fauna and flora of New Spain. In 1791, he continued onto the California portion of the expedition, where he made images of 200 plant species. In 1794, he traveled to the Caribbean with Sessé and botanist Jaime Senseve. The group landed in Havana, Havana, Cuba, and later traveled to Puerto Rico. Because of political instability in New Spain caused by the Napoleonic Wars, the project was not completed, and Echeverría left the expedition in 1797.

Echeveria Agavoides
''Echeveria agavoides'', or lipstick echeveria, is a species of flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae, native to rocky areas of Mexico, notably the states of San Luis Potosí, Hidalgo, Guanajuato and Durango. Description ''Echeveria agavoides'' is a small, stemless succulent plant, tall, with a rosette of leaves in diameter. It is often solitary, but old plants in good condition grow offsets. The leaves are green, triangular, thicker (6 mm) and more acute than the other echeverias - hence the explanation of their name ''agavoides'', "looking like an agave". Some varieties with bright light have reddish (or bronze) tips and some forms have slightly red to very red margins. The inflorescences in summer appear on slender, single-sided cymes up to long. The flowers are pink, orange or red, the petals tipped with dark yellow.
