While at Wally-world a couple months ago I saw a fairly large (softball size) Echeveria 'Topsy-Turvy' for $12; a bit more than I cared to spend on a houseplant with the economy like it is. Today I saw it again--for $4! Looks a bit careworn from the unskilled handling it received at the store (several knicks and cuts and broken ends on the largest leaves) but lots of perfect small leaves in the center.

It now sits in a corner of the porch where my behemoth of a dog isn't liable to knock it over while galloping past.

That's a good picture!

What an odd looking one. It surely is different.

It is unusual looking. The leaves curl under all along the sides. It's a nice blue-gray color and so architectural in structure that I think of it as a living sculpture as much as a plant.
