Yellow Variegation

 

My favorite today: Echeveria 'Enfant' f. variegata

This impressive echeveria grows in my garden for over a year. 😜I got it when it was 3"-4" in diameter. Look at it now! It's at least 9" now. 😍

The variegated color is yellow and it becomes lighter when exposed to more sun.

Notice that leaves on one side have higher contrast than on the opposite side. This is because they are positioned perpendicularly to morning sun rays. Leaves on the opposite side have different angle to the source of light and don't get as exposed. It grows in a very big pot under kumquat tree. That's why I cannot turn it πŸ™ƒ and give each side equal exposure.

Nevertheless, the plant is beautiful as it is. 😍 I like the tiny red claws 🀩 on each leaf and a thin red line along the edges of the leaves. It just gives special appeal to the plant. 😘 I believe that more sun exposure would increase the amount of red.

The surrounding plants are mostly crassulas - my favorite type of succulents.🧑
