Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We acquired this little green Echeveria with a name not much of a story to go along with it. This is what we've learned from growing it for a year. 'Sleepy' doesn't act sleepy, he seems to want to clump up quickly, and produces healthy sprays of yellow/orange flowers in summer. t also appear that this may in fact be a x Graptoveria, but so few people are aware of this intergeneric hybrid, we hesitate to list it a such.
