Macro Monday: Echeveria

This is an echeveria in my coral reef succulent container garden... that's a mouthful!  The leaflets remind my of fondant petals used in confections and cake decorating, and the texture is so soft.  See below for the full view.

Be sure to visit Lisa's Chaos for more Macro Monday!

    Thanks everyone! I never knew that echeverias had such graceful inflorescences! I'll take some more photos when the petals open too!

    Echevarias are a favorite for one of my friends. Thanks to her, I've learned a bit more about them, and even have a couple. Very cool plants. Your photos are gorgeous!
