    This Echeveria has been a hummingbird favorite for the four summers I've had it. First picture shows open flowers today. Second picture was taken 3 weeks ago and shows the body. This thing spent some time as a large, solitary plant that filled the pot, but a couple of winters ago it started to offset and there are now 12 or 13 heads. Third picture shows the largest head (mother plant) last November right before I chopped it off to re-root it. Last picture shows what that head looks like now, alongside one of the offsets which I started at the same time. The leaves have a very different shape and posture.
