    Small, pale green Echeveria hybrid with contrasting red highlights and tiny marginal hairs. From Suculentas de la Costa in Argentina. Rosettes to about 6 inches wide. The parentage (setosa var. ciliata x agavoides) helps explain the color (agavoides) and the tiny hairs (setosa). Flowers are dainty but proportional, with orange-red bases and yellow tips. Flower stems and bracts both bear fine hairs that can be seen under magnification or via photography.
