Echeveria desmetiana

One of the most elegant and delicate succulents, Echeveria desmetiana has thick, stalkless rosettes that reach only 10 cm in diameter but fascinate for their harmonious colors. It consists of ovate leaves with sharply pointed apex, not very large and often slightly upwards. The epidermis assumes a wonderful gray-bluish tone, made opaque by a kind of pruina that covers it completely to protect it from the natural agents. When properly exposed to sunlight, the margins of this plant fade towards a delicate pink or violet. It’s perfectly in harmony with the soft pink-orange colors of the small flowers that, in summer, will bloom at the apex of long stems.
