Similar to Echeveria agavoides ‘Romeo’ but differences in form, leaf shape and stress colours.
A beautifully coloured Echeveria with a greener centre moving through purple-red to dark tips in full sun.
A great colour to contrast with other succulents. Also the perfect feature plant.
One farm created a Black Queen hybrid and dubbed her Maleficent, in the case of Disney's Black Queen, makes sense.
This plant is insane and amazing, near black at the height of stress in winter (a few days), will 'cool off' and change colors in warmer temps again, the way it is now in early winter.
Maximum: 16°C / 61°F
Minimum: 6ºC / 43ºF
***
Notable Qualities: Depending on what it is crossed with can be one of the blackest succulents available.
This beautiful Echeveria really shows off when it’s been happily “stressed.”
Its lime green leaves have red edges, giving it the nickname “Lipstick,” but this succulent gets its species name from the Agave-like shape of its thick, triangle-shaped leaves.
This unique and hard-to-find Echeveria has light blue upturned leaves that form a frilly rosette.
They get pink and lavender coloration on the tips and margins under stress.

Nowadays it is still little known, but now it is being very commercialized, at least at CEAGESP (Market in São Paulo) I found several seedlings, they call succulent hedgehog.
This succulent caught my attention for its beauty. With a more delicate appearance, it certainly appears to be fragile, but on the contrary. Its rosette is very dense and can reach 10cm in height. The leaves are fleshy, dark blue-green, covered with tiny hairs. When kept in full sun, it intensifies its color, appearing black and keeps the rosettes denser and more compact.
Why choose this succulent at the time of arrangement? Firstly, it reproduces on the sides, which after some time fills a basin with several dense rosettes, secondly its color is very beautiful which gives a contrast of texture and interesting color in the arrangement.
The buds start to appear in summer, bright red in color, but with small white flowers, remaining for a few weeks.
The name "Sinocrassula" means "Chinese crassula". They come from the Yunnan province in the south of China, and also from the north of Burma. They grow at an altitude between 2,500 and 2,700 m
Synocrassula Yunnanesis prefers colder than warmer places. Remember that full sun does not mean hot places. What is easier to be cultivated in southern Brazil, due to our more tropical climate.
How to resist the charm of the furry succulents? Although these are adaptations to life in hot and dry environments, the combination of plump leaves covered with a delicate down result in small plush plants. This is the case of Echeveria setosa, perhaps the most famous succulent species with a velvety appearance. The scientific name derives from the word arrow, which means bristle, short hair, in Latin. For this reason, one of the popular names for this plant is silky stone rose.
In fact, many succulents belonging to the genus Echeveria are generically called stone roses, thanks to the appearance of their leaves arranged in the form of rosettes. This group of species was named after the Mexican botanist Atanasio Echeverría y Godoy.
Like several other species of the genus, Echeveria setosa is originally from Mexico, being natively found in the cities of Puebla and Oaxaca. It is a succulent whose habitat is formed by sandy and rocky soils, under full sun, in semi-desert climate regions.
In English-speaking countries, Echeveria setosa is popularly known as Mexican firecracker, a kind of firework, thanks to the colorful and festive appearance of its inflorescences, which mix warm shades of red, orange and yellow, appearing at the apex of long stems upright.
The succulent Echeveria setosa belongs to the botanical family Crassulaceae, which also includes other furry succulents of ornamental interest, such as the bear paw, Cotyledon tomentosa, cat ear, Kalanchoe tomentosa, and Echeveria pulvinata.
There are several varieties of Echeveria setosa, which were described recently, in the 1990s. The best known is Echeveria setosa var. deminuta, with a more compact size and smaller leaves. Echeveria setosa var. ciliata has slightly larger dimensions, with a less dense coat of hairs.
Echeveria setosa provides sprouts of new seedlings from the base of the main plant, forming very ornamental clusters. Alternatively, these structures can be removed to grow into new seedlings. Its flowering occurs during spring and summer. In winter, some varieties can assume a discreet reddish setting, at the tips of the leaves, especially when the succulent is grown in a place with plenty of light.
Like all species of the genus, Echeveria setosa needs generous exposure to sunlight, so that it can develop in a compact and attractive way. In very shaded places, the plant tends to erode, becoming taller, with greater spacing between the leaves. Furthermore, under these growing conditions, their rosettes become less symmetrical.
Although Echeveria setosa has this coverage of trichomes as a protection against excessive sunstroke, it is advisable to protect the plant from the most intense sun, during the hottest hours of the day, especially in summer.
For those who can't resist a plant that looks like a stuffed animal, the succulent Echeveria setosa is an excellent option. It is even possible to make a collection of hairy species, although these are not very numerous.
Personal note:
In addition to loving succulent plants, I am particularly passionate about furry species, which resemble stuffed animals. This is the case of Echeveria pulvinata, which also draws a lot of attention due to its unique color, with leaves showing a pastel color, bluish green, with reddish ends. Although it can be grown inside houses and apartments, Echeveria pulvinata reveals its full potential when kept in full sun, outdoors or on sunny balconies.
This succulent echeveria pulvinata / Echeveria 'Pulv-oliver' is also called the Plush Plant in Brazil.

A selected form of a naturally occurring Echeveria species from Oaxaca, Mexico.
It is also known as a Chenille Plant, Ruby Blush, Ruby Slippers, or Red Velvet because it has a crimson, velvety coating to protect it from the intense sun of its rocky habitats.
'Ruby' is a sun-loving plant and needs protection from hard frosts, but a little bit of environmental stress like direct sun and temperatures just above freezing bring out the brightest reds along leaf margins.
It is wonderfully low-maintenance whether growing in-ground or in a pot, so long as it has great drainage and gets plenty of sunshine.
When grown under the correct light levels, Echeveria pulvinata will produce beautiful blooms during the winter months in the form of delicate stems with bell-shaped flowers at the ends, showing mixed shades of yellow and orange.
The rosettes will stay fairly small but the fuzzy stems beneath them will continue to branch and grow up to 10" long. Fortunately, 'Ruby' propagates easily from leaf and stem cuttings, so you can keep the plant compact by cutting the stem just below a rosette, leaving to dry 3-5 days, then planting the rosette on moist, well-draining soil to re-grow roots.
To prune or not to prune… that is the question!
You DON'T NEED to prune your echeveria flowers, the flowers are beautiful! Now, if you want your plant to grow a little faster, the flower steals energy from the plant and delays growth.
Ah, you can put the flower in a bottle to decorate your kitchen, it lasts a long time!
After a while, the flower stem dries up, so you have to cut it. Try to cut as close to the base as possible without hurting the plant.
PS. I already posted a photo of the plant of this beautiful echeveria a few months ago.
This is the reddest variety of the species Echeverias agavoides.
We know that agavoides have many varieties in cultivation, such as ebony, Romeo, Sirus lipstick, etc.
Romeo is the red variety of agavoides, while Rubin is the redest variety of Romeo. So simply Rubin is the most beautiful and red agavoides Echeveria.
It can grow a lot and, please give them strong direct sunlight for an intense red color. Do not plant them in the shade, as this can happen with excessive irrigation or the color will disappear. It is easy to grow like other agavoids, a must-have for all agavo lovers. Our plants are as red as in the photos, without photoshop, very beautiful and healthy.

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.
Echeveria agavoides is a small, stemless succulent plant, 8–12 centimetres (3.1–4.7 in) tall, with a rosette of leaves 7–15 centimetres (2.8–5.9 in) 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 50 centimetres (20 in) long. The flowers are pink, orange or red, the petals tipped with dark yellow.
If you have a succulent collection then this rare succulent is a must.
Echeveria agavoides Taurus is a small stemless succulent plant, usually solitary, but old plants in good condition produce offsets / lateral seedlings. 'Taurus' is an evergreen succulent forming compact rosettes of almost triangular green leaves heavily flushed pinkish-red, thicker and sharper than other echeverias – hence the explanation for the name agavoides, "similar to an agave". It needs a bright position to maintain its colour.
Spectacular Echeveria Taurus succulent in size and color, sometimes confused with Echeveria Romeo, however Echeveria Taurus is much larger, its rosette can reach more than 20 cm in diameter.
The cultivation must be done in a bright place, in a substrate with excellent drainage, watering must be carried out with great care so that there is no standing water in the rosettes, as this can rot the leaves and generate fungi that can kill the plant.
Do you tend to gravitate towards darker and more gothic type of things? Me too.
No wonder I'm a fan of Tim Burton movies, ha, ha!
So when I found out there was a cool succulent that resembles the black color I definitely had to take a look at it.
I gotta tell you, I'm really digging its dark and broody vibe.

This is a succulent plant that holds a prominent place in my collection. By the way, the Echeveria 'Black Prince' is the darling among collectors, thanks to its unique coloring. The leaves are born green, in the center of the rosette, but they become darker as they develop. Due to the fact that there are few black colored representatives in the plant kingdom, Echeveria 'Black Prince' stands out among the ubiquitous greenish or grayish succulents.
The chromatic metamorphosis depends a lot on the amount of light that the Echeveria 'Black Prince' receives. If the succulent is grown in environments with less light, its leaves can remain with a jade green color, also beautiful. But the greater your exposure to sunlight, the darker your leaves, whose color can vary from a soft chocolate to an almost black tone, which lives up to the name of the cultivar, 'Black Prince'.
Few succulent plants have this coloration. In addition to the 'Black Prince' Echeveria, we have the Aeonium arboreum 'Zwartkopf', whose nickname, of course, is 'Black Rose'. This is a harder plant to find, it's been on my wishlist for a long time.
Amazingly, Echeveria 'Black Prince' is a hybrid succulent, resulting from a cross between two Mexican species, Echeveria shaviana (which is completely different) and Echeveria affinis (from whom it inherited the dark coloration).

It is a rare, hybrid Brazilian succulent, but it is not known which plants it is. It appeared, in an uncontrolled way, as far as I know, in a Brazilian succulent grower. The name is a nickname and it is not officially registered on the website crassulaceae.ch.
The name is associated with the green and pink colors that resemble a guava, because the skin is green and the inner part is pink.
The small guava is a monstrous Echeveria. The term "monstrous" is given for a genetic anomaly that can occur in plants, as well as variegata and cristata. A monstrous plant looks different than normal, with oddly shaped leaves, streaks and crumple deformation. All features present in guava.
And a detail about this little plant is that it can reach a height of 20 centimeters, that is, a small echeveria.
It appears to be quite susceptible to fungi. Therefore, it is recommended to pass fungicide (copper sulfate), every 15 days.
At a versatile request of a single lady now exclusively the blooming stone rose. The photo of its bud I posted on monday. Ok ... I would have posted it anyway.
Auf vielseitigen Wunsch einer einzelnen Dame hier exklusiv nun die blühenden Steinrosen der Knospe ich am Montag gezeigt habe. Ok ... ich hätte es sowieso gepostet.

This small succulent plant is obtained from the hybridization between Echeveria chihuahuaensis and E. colorata 'Lindsayana'. It has a classic compact rosette shape, with fleshy light green leaves, that fade towards pink, while its tips end in an intense red. During the flowering period, at the apex of the plant, it generates a long thin pink stem, from which pink-orange flowers emerge.
An unusual echeveria with a slow growth that depending on the conditions it can take on various shades of color.
This succulent is perfect for decorating my bedroom balcony during the year.
Echeveria dionysos is a hybrid plant (E. Purpusorum x E. Spec) and is part of the crassulaceae family. It is small and is native to Mexico. It is a collector's item due to its pointed leaves in greenish gray tone, sparkling dots and stained purple. In addition, it has a perfectly symmetrical rosette, which makes it even more beautiful.
The plant reaches 8 cm in height and its rosettes are approximately 10 cm in diameter. The leaves are 5 cm long and 2.5 cm wide. As the succulent Dionysus is a hybrid, it is often highlighted as Echeveria purpusorum.
The difference between them is that the second is thinner and has a more pointed peak. In turn, Echeveria dionysos is a little more “plump”.

The ornamental succulent leaves organized in the form of compact rosettes, whose appearance reminds us of stone roses, are the trademark of representatives of the genus Echeveria. Typical plants from arid regions, with important adaptations to life in warm and sunny environments, Echeverias are omnipresent in the collections of admirers of succulent plants. Its resistance, rapid growth and multiplication, in addition to the ease of cultivation, justify this popularity.
The Echeverias were formally described in 1828, having been named after the Mexican botanical artist Atanasio Echeverría y Godoy. There are approximately 150 species gathered in the genus Echeveria, which are distributed in several regions of semi-arid climate in Central America, with a high concentration of ornamental succulents originating in Mexico.
Succulents of the genus Echeveria belong to the family Crassulaceae, which includes many plants often grown for ornamental purposes.
Also known as "Mexican Hens & Chicks", Echeveria can produce new offsets or "chicks" around the base of the mother plant. These chicks can be left to form a tidy cluster or removed and transplanted. Additionally, Echeveria can be propagated from stem cuttings or mature leaves.
Last night we enjoyed a Stone Roses gig in the Etihad Stadium in Manchester and boy was it worth driving up and waiting for hours and surviving three previous warm up bands! It was utter madness and the stadium appeared to be a boiler room!
Dave asked me if I had any gold lippy, of course I do - but I can probably do better than that...

The Coronovirus lockdown brings about a Macro Mondays return after a long absence. The theme of 'layers' being an ideal time to bring together another hobby of mine, vinyl records. Some new, some old, I've been lucky enough to keep hold of the majority of my collection despite hard times and break-ups. A carefully curated selection, due to how surprisingly few don't have the title and artist in the centre of the spine. Take note record companies. HMM y'all!

The Stone Roses, 30th June 1989, Leeds Polytechnic.
Madchester '89 Exhibition details
I photographed this secret guitarist/roadie hiding and playing behind large speakers during the gig. His work just added to the majestic sound. No wonder they sounded so good. Cressa's technical work also helped I believe. Does anybody know who he is ? Roadie, mate of the band or session musician?(or all of those) After 23 years is it about time he got some recognition for his contribution ? I think he may have augmented the drumming also. See drumsticks bottom of frame if that's what they are? Then again, that looks like part of the guitar stand I guess....This is the first time this image has been published in any way shape or form. Whoever you are, thank you alongside the Stone Roses for making this one of the best musical performances I have ever witnessed. Now I'm getting in the sunshine.. Best wishes for the weekend.
