On a cold rainy chill morning ...

Scientific name: Echeveria elegans
The mexican snow ball or hen and chicks is a succulent, popular as a potted plant. They are drought resistant plants. The beauty of rosettes of unusual blue-green foliage is exemplary and wonderful. The plant blooms once a year. The small red-yellow flowers are carried on a short stem.  I took this photograph on 1st December 2010 at Silkworm Satellite Breeding Station, Coonoor while on a workshop on Silkworm Breeding.
