  • Echeveria Whimsy. Rainbow cotton candy is how I would describe the look of this plant. This video chronicles how this beautiful Echeveria cultivar came into being. And....It also has a sibling that for now, I call Black Whimsy.

    I also fell in love with Black Prince when I first saw it. I got them from Ikea too, and they were one of the first succulent I got. One of them rotted too, and I also saved some Leaves.

    I came to you Liz K because I figured you would know over a ton of other people. So I'm trying to find out if string of watermelon AKA senecio Herreanus have seeds in their blooms. I had some seed pods from my string of hearts that I collected seeds from and I know when you open those, there is the white furry stuff inside and the seeds are in there, and the string of watermelon have the white furry stuff in the blooms so I didn't want to throw my blooms out until I knew for sure if they had seeds in them. Maybe you can help. Thanks! And all of your plants in this video are so pretty!!!

      The fluffy bit is a dispersal mechanism of the plant. The wind will blow and scatter the seeds located at the tip of the fluffy bit. I usually spread them in the soil and water them or a light sprinkling of soil on top also helps to keep them down.

    Hi to my favourite succulent grower!
    I learn so much from you and i’m Grateful that you respond always to my comments.
    One more request! I live in the UK zone 8/9. I will be heading into autumn then winter in a months time. Could you do a video of the succulents that you have grown outside in the ground that survived over winter and those in pots that survived fully exposed over winter so that o can plan ahead. I have collected a large number of su Filene’s and think you ate in a similar zone....i’m Probably wrong so correct me but it would be helpful to have guidance on what I can risk leaving out this coming winter.
    Thank you and only wish I was your neighbour :)

The inflorescent leaves haven’t been crossed or pollinated at all. The resulting babies are natural variations of that plant (i.e. would look just the same if you never pollinated or cross pollinated the flowers).

      I shouldn't have been so hasty as to say that this is my hybrid but instead should have said that it's my "Cultivar." But the word Cultivar according to the Australian Native Society (Australia)...
      a cultivar may be:
      :an unusual form of a pure species that was discovered in the wild,
      :a form that arose by chance in a batch of seedlings in a nursery, or
      :a hybrid.
