Echeveria hybrid

It's easy to understand why Dick Wright liked to use volcanic references when naming his hybrids. This is just an unnamed Echeveria hybrid with lots of carnunculation. That's right, it's a word. It refers to all those bumps on the surface of the mature leaves. Like bubbling lava. You can almost feel the heat. Don't touch!

I just don't know how people resist them!
