After growing succulents for three years, I still find the cheap varieties more pleasing to look at

The first succulent I got when I fell down the rabbit hole, and it has stayed this beautiful the whole time

Pachyveria 'Clavifolia'

Rotten apple, grown from a single rosette

Gorgeous Echeveria 'Afterglow'

Very hard to bring into color -- Pachyphytum 'Doctor Cornelius'

Echeveria 'Frosty Morn', also grown from a tiny seedling

Pachyphytum 'Sibuyan' grown into an old stem

Red pink PINK

Graptoveria 'Titubans' has also been with me for three years,

A variety I once disliked, good thing I didn't throw it out -- Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy'

Echeveria 'Ruanzuo', only started looking beautiful this year

Aren't they all just plain, dime-a-dozen varieties? Along the way, I've culled many and added many, but these common ones are truly my favorites.
