Echeveria x

Sometimes incorrectly sold as Echeveria grusonii, this is not a species but a hybrid of unknown origin. But it's a beautiful little plant with amazingly brilliant red flowers.

We had a very wet March and April and now it looks like we'll set a record for the number of days in a row with no rain. Today was day number 7 and there's no rain in the long-term forecasts. And hot! Understand, this is Portland in Oregon. We don't expect 90F at this time of year...
