I've had this variety for years, put a small plant in the cold frame to overwinter a few years ago and it rooted through the bottom of the pot.
Just left it alone since then, rarely if ever give it any water.

I tend to think that Echeveria can grow out of character if given too much water or feed, in a similar way to sempervivum.

 

@pete Isn't yours the E Perle Von Nurnberg? Mine takes all kinds of abuse and neglect outdoors. T'other half brought me home one painted red from Aldi for the holidays! May as well spruce it up and sprinkle some glitter on it.

 

I dont know what variety it is, you may well be right, it's pretty common I think.
I also have it outside in a micro climate area.

 

Nice collection @shiney.
Or should I say Mrs Shiney maybe

Really like that large mottled leaf rosette with the dead flower spikes in pic 2

 

A good time of year for succulents. They tend to get ignored when everything else is flourishing. No flowers on any mine but I think the second image has the beginnings of a flower bud.
I'm making a succulent tapestry is a large shallow pot saucer. I keep them in my unheated greenhouse so they don't get wet.

 

Me too!
I also like the Sedum or Sedum cross in the last photo!

 

There are quite a few that are winter/spring blooming. I have a couple that are budding up at the moment.

 

I bought a couple from Lidl today at £2.49 each. They're in 9cm pots and are a good size.
This first one is E.setosa I think and has three offsets waiting to be potted up separately in spring..........


The second is possibly Pearl von Nurnberg.................

Not a good show as I've kept it indoors over the winter because I've found it to be rather tender.

 

Bought these two recently,

 

Just placed an order for some succulents to add to the few I already have. A couple of nurseries locally too supply them.
I am enjoying this thread

 

Members I've never saw such a beautiful selection ....from velvet looking to striking in colour
