To our next few varieties here,
this really nice specimen in front of me, not a very exciting name,
it's called Affinis. it's again a nice, dark
leaf variety and a great bloom habit to it as well.
In front of it, this one's called Icicle.
Again, a lot of names are distinctive to
the character of the other leaf. So it's got kind of a frosty
look to the foliage. Very long, pointy
leaves to it. Down here,
this tray of retail-ready pots so everyone get excited for next season.
These frilly ones are very difficult to propagate.
We don't always have a lot of them available so they would become better
sellers if I would have
more of them. But anyways, this one here
in front of these is called Deco Edge. So a real nice decorative edge to it
for that medium pink color. And wow!
Isn't this gorgeous? This one here, this one's called
Frosty. Great orange and yellow flowers just opens up. Orange on the outside, yellow
in the middle
against it. Nice frosty, silver
foliage to it. Very good branching habit to it
as well. One of my favorite ones. Another great feature about the tender succulents
especially the
echeveria is the way they change color throughout the season. So as the
nights get cooler but sunlight hours are still strong like they are
this week in September, the pigments,
all the red and orange pigments in the echeveria will
start to you darken up. So just to give you an example,
this variety here called Imbricata. You can just start to see how the edges are really
starting to get that
coraly pink color and that will really get
more more predominant as the season
moves along. This one's very similar, beside it here,
it's called Blue Rose. So in the early part of the season, it has a really blue
look to it.
And again as the season progresses, well iw would start to get that
coraly effect on the edge of the leaves moving in
to the middle. This one here, I thought I'd throw it in there. It is
that little bit different, slower growing. It's called Agavoides.
So if you're a fan of agave, then you may
be interested in this one. Obviously given that because it got that
very pointy spine at the tip of it
like agave have. So that's why this one's called
echeveria Agavoides. Over here,
again if you want to throw a blue one in here, so this one is our better blue ones. It's
called
Princess Blue. So in the cooler part of the season,
really rich blue look to it. Again works well
contrasting against some of those lighter colored varieties.
Look at this,
isn't that awesome? Electric Glo, that's what this one is called.
Really dark red edge, frilly edge to it
and a monstrous head to it. So it doesn't bloom as much as
some of the other varieties but still a
really, really stunning plant. This one here,
Electric Glo.
