Gurcharan ji, Garg ji, Usha di, I am confused. Similar looking succulent which I have photographed before in a Nasik nursery and which is on flowersofindia.net site has been identified as Echeveria elegans, common names Mexican Snowball, Hen and Chicks. How do you differentiate between Echeveria and Sempervivum? For a non botanist like me, both look the same. Regards, Aarti
