Same, same but different

As well as loving my plants, I have a background in martial arts. There is a phrase from my teacher which was, 'Same, same but different'. And in this world of Echeveria Agavoides this is certainly true with the change of colour in different temperatures and levels of sunlight. Same plant, different outcomes.

For myself I'm not one to keep plants pampered under glass , I'm not looking for artificial perfection but what natures reveals in itself. And what does it do? Splodges and colour changes to name a few things.

Although its late spring here's a selection.

Aquamarine, a jade green specimen with a hint of red tips starts to change with red edging



Its called Honey Pink, but what's in a name?  Splodges !



Giant Purple/Purple Giant 



This one was interesting, bought originally as a plain green but nicely shaped Sirius, it is showing some great markings 



This is one of a group of hybrid seedlings from Plantlife Cactus  that could turn out to be something quite special.



This unnamed variety is from Portugal and is turning out to be a great looking plant with interesting markings.


  
Another cracking little seedling from Plantlife Cactus with great rich colouring




There are more pictures to come, as Im building quite a nice little collection now.
This year should see good growth and changes in colour.
