Another Frank Reinelt hybrid, a sister seedling to the above. Very similar, but the plant color is more of a pale greenish-blue and the edges have less, if any, reddish seasonal coloring. The originator of this hybrid is variously ascribed to Harry Butterfield or Frank Reinelt and is a sister plant to 'Blue Curls'. A lovely, frilly Echeveria which is a little less blue than it's sister and without as much red on the margins.
