Echeveria patriotica

A Michoacán Echeveria described in 2007 and known from only a few records at 2,300–3,000 m. Its name suggests its flowers or leaves show the red, white and green of the Mexican flag, but we could not confirm this. Grow it like other high-plateau Echeveria, with cool nights, bright light and a dry spring.
