echeveriaecheveria
genusgenusSucculent plants characterized by their striking rosette formations of thick, fleshy leaves that often display stunning color variations and powdery coatings. These architectural beauties can produce dainty bell-shaped flowers on long stems that rise above their symmetrical leaf arrangements.
Etymology
The genus was named after Atanasio Echeverría y Godoy, an 18th-century Mexican botanical artist known for his detailed illustrations of native plants.
Interesting fact!
The powdery coating on their leaves, known as epicuticular wax or 'farina,' serves as a natural sunscreen and helps the plants retain water in their native habitats.
