E. Pulvinata or harmsii?

Even in bloom, I'm still not sure which this is.  Would you ID it for me, please, and tell me how I can tell it apart from its look-alike cousin?

Thanks

Je propose que tu compares ta plante avec les photos de ces deux liens, particulièrement les fleurs ....

Re: E. Pulvinata or harmsii?

Thanks, Margrit.  I don't speak French, but I think you told me to have a look at the two descriptions and pay particularly close attention to the flowers.  I did that, and I think it's most like E. pulvinata.  It's definitely not E. harmsii'so urn-like corrollas and plain sepals, but it doesn't match E. pulvinata perfectly either.  Would this likely be due to variation among individuals, or hybridization with something else?

Hi,

It looks like a hybrid, maybe 'Pulv-Oliver'.

Sorry for answering in French !

From now on you will never again confuse your plant with E. harmsii.

Tom has proposed 'Pulv-Oliver' - it's up to you to tell us whether you find your plant closer to the species or the hybrid. You have the plant, we only see photos .... The hybrid has a longer corolla of a paler colour. Maybe we should wait until more flowers have opened on your plant.

That's ok, Margrit.  Working out a little French using only my weak grasp of Spanish might help to keep my aging brain sharp.  <grin>

I think you're right.  We might need a few more blooms.  Pulv-Oliver is a more similar color, but the corolla is a little longer.  I think it's leaf shape is more like mine than pulvinata though.  I think you're right, Tom, some type of hybrid.  When more blooms open, I'll let you know what I think.

Thanks very much, both of you.

Hi,

for me its Echeveria ´Pulv-Oliver´. E. pulvinata has not these long pedicels and so the inflorescence is more compact than in ´Pulv-Oliver´. Here the Inflorescence is fairly open.
