Can you name the species of this plant?

On a recent visit to B&Q we rescued a very drowning Echeveria. It had been £12, reduced to £2 and then the Manager at the checkout said 50p!

It has been repotted and damaged leaves removed very carefully. Still some damaged parts though.

It is now in flower and we are so pleased we rescued it.

However we only know the genus name and not the species or variety and would like to know more about the plant.

As always many thanks for your help.

This must be the longest time it has taken on this forum for someone to ID a plant - I have no idea but am curious!

@wild edges might know …

I'm not good with rosettey type succulents. I'm fairly sure echeveria should all have 5 petals though so this could be a hybrid or other genus.

Really a total guess

Thank you all. Will do

It is definitely an Echeveria of some kind.
The flower is the giveaway!

I agree it is an Echeveria; I have one just like this but it was given to me as a cutting and I have no idea of the variety. Please let us know if you manage to identify it.

Have a look at Echeveria ‘Blue Atoll’.

@Dovefromabove a great link. Thank you.

We think it is a secunda but which variety...

As always thank you all for helping us.
