Came across this image while trolling the web and was happily surprised to see a succulent I haven't really seen before. It is as if an Agave (with its pointed leaves) and an Echeveria (with its low rosette form) had a baby. After seeing the same succulents used over and over, this is refreshingly different! Here it is seen with a stubby version of Senecio serpens 'Blue Chalksticks' (another nice diversion from the common). Kudos to Garden Proganda for sharing (http://gardenpropaganda.com/tag/agave-celsii-var-albicans-ucb/).
Devil Mountain Nursery carries 2 kinds of Echeveria subrigida: The cultivar A) 'Fire and Ice' and B) the straight species. I could see both being useful depending on the effect you are trying to achieve.
