This Echeveria is HUUUGE. It's BY FAR the biggest Echeveria I've ever seen.

Taken from the plant's tag: "Low growing succulent with variegated foliage. Lovely pink flowers appear in abundance on sunny days late spring to fall. A sport found at Perennial Favorites. Exclusive".

Perennial Favorites is a wholesale nursery based in Layton, Utah, United States.

A very pretty and very stinky plant.

Its looks make up for the smell though.

The name "maxixe" is pronounced mah-SHE-she.

This is a very good tree overall.
The only issue I've noticed this tree has is that it is EXTREMELY sensitive to root disturbance. I almost killed mine when I removed a chunk of concrete I found a few inches below the surface from the ground about a foot from the base of the tree. It took three years to recover and lost half of its branches.
So as long as you don't mess with its roots, it should do fine in dry places like Utah as long as its basic needs are met.

Plants sold under this name are almost always actually Vietnamese Cast Iron Plant (Aspidistra vietnamensis 'Ginga'). The true 'Amanogawa' has both spots AND stripes as is shown here: https://www.plantdelights.com/....

This isn't actually a hybrid between Sedum and Orostachys but a hybrid between Hylotelephium and Orostachys.

Not the easiest Stonecrop to keep alive. It hates hot weather and when I saw it in the wild for the first time it was in a place where there wasn't ever any direct sun and where there was water occasionally coming down the face of the rock wall it was growing on.

The town of Elberta, Utah, United States is named after this cultivar.
