Graptoveria 'Blush' f. variegated (Variegated)

This is a species not present in nature, but obtained in the nursery from the crossing between two specimens even belonging to different genera, Echeveria colorata and Graptopetalum amethystinum. The obtained succulent has the typical compact rosette arrangement, consisting of very fleshy, ovoid and pointed leaves at the apex. The upper surface is slightly concave, while the lower one is mostly round, like a spoon. One of the strengths of G. Blush is definitely the color: a very light green, made opaque by the whitish plum that protects the epidermis from atmospheric agents, but tends to fade towards a pinkish-reddish color along the edges. The red color is noticeably accentuated when Graptoveria is exposed to abundant sunlight, for an overall effect absolutely unique and unrepeatable! The variegated shape of this succulent presents the typical lighter areas in the exact points where the chlorophyll is absent: these characteristics will never be the same from one plant to another, therefore each specimen will be absolutely unique and, for this reason, highly sought after by collectors.
