Over the last few years hundreds if not thousands of new plants have been created in South Korea. These hybrids have become much sought after by collectors all over the world. In many ways Korean hybridisers have led the way in creating many new and exciting varieties of plants. Sadly there is a lot of secrecy regarding the genetics in these modern hybrids. As a collector I have found this frustrating as I like to know the history and genetic make up of my plants. Many of the plants turn out to be Interspecific hybrids, xGraptoveria and xPachyveria rather than Echeveria hybrids. This is unknown until they flower.
