This is magnficent large Mexican plant is one of the largest of the species- it is a blue-green plant up to 1.5' in diameter (perhaps larger) with deeply funneled, smooth edged leaves that are somewhat 'spade' shaped. The colors change depending on the season, with purples, pinks, whitish turquoise etc. showing up. This plant rarely if ever produces offsets, but there are offsetting forms in cultivation. Plants tend to be pricey.
