Today we have Graptoveria Opalina, and some of her lookalikes. Opalina is one of the first I ever collected, and is a beautiful classic breeding between Echeveria colorata fa colorata and Graptopetalum amethystinum (aka pink moonstones). Can you tell which one is opalina? She’s bottom right! Above Opalina is a nameless hybrid of Colorata and Oviferum. Diagonal of opalina is another mysterious variety that arrived labeled as “Opalina hybrid”, interestingly it seems to grow larger and wider leaves. Perhaps it’s from the mystery parent, or it’s simply a larger more mature plant. Lastly, on the left of Opalina we have an Air Magic hybrid called Coco Moon! After taking these photos, I found another 2 additional lookalikes. Part 2 anyone?
Hope you enjoyed this post! Let me know if you want to see more comparisons in the future
