Then I discovered that they will do pretty well under fluorescent lights, especially if kept as close as possible to the tubes, and in a cool room. These three beauties have been going along happily in my basement all winter. If anything, their cool shades of pink-blue-lavender seem enhanced by the slight chill.
Three Echeveria varieties. Unfortunately, I don't have IDs for any of them. The one at the top might be Echeveria 'Afterglow,' but I am far from certain.
Close-up of the possible Echeveria 'Afterglow'
I can't seem to get a close-up that does this one justice. The edges of the leaves are pinker in person. I love this plant--it is like a bouquet in a bowl.
I've posted a photograph of this plant before--
--it is far less purple in the summer.

I have other Echeveria species, including a couple that are getting ready to bloom, and a few that I actually know the names of. (Imagine that!) I will be writing about them in the near future.

Your echeverias are great! The ruffled ones are my favorite.
