Hi folks -
I was putting together a plant list for a landscape project and just put up a
photo of this Echeveria:

I am reminded that I don't know what this hybrid/cultivar might be. It is a
great plant, making nice clumps of rosettes over a short time, with this
handsome blue-green color, coloring up pink in bright light or under stress.
My original plants came from Kent Gillickson, a local garden designer who is
no longer with us. Kent never seemed worried about the name of this plant -
he always had enough for his use, propagating it from clumps in his own garden
or from other gardens in which he planted it.
If anyone knows this plant of Kent's, or has ideas about what it might be, I
am interested.
