Your plant is Echeveria gibbiflora var. carunculata, a member of the\u00a0Crassulaceae\u00a0family, from Mexico.<\/p>\n

It develops stems up to 50 cm high, topped with rosettes up to 30 cm wide, each with 15-20\u00a0gray green leaves\u00a015-30 cm long,\u00a0flushed with\u00a0blue to pink hues. It also has<\/span>\u00a0inflorescences (lower heads) to 1m tall, with pink flowers.<\/p>\n

Each leaf develops a group of bumps, “carunculae”, on upper surface of leaves.\u00a0<\/span>As the plant grows the carunculae will grow large and add more beauty to this rare and unusual plant.<\/p>\n

Likes fresh air with bright light or full sun. Drench thoroughly, then allow to become moderately dry between watering.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a picture of this plant, from the Internet.<\/p>\n
