Aldi did indeed have some Echeveria setosa in store a couple (?) of years ago. Here's mine. This was almost as suprising as finding pots of Ludisia discolor in Lidl last year!

It's growing well too.
Oddly enough, I was given a Ludisia about 15 years ago by a chum who found them in a supermarket in Inverness. ( He gets about!) Neither of us could credit it!

Menai / SJW: Oh these are much nicer than the type ones over here. Picture #1.  Is it a var. or cultivar?

Meanwhile any idea which one this large-flowered orange one is? Pic#2.

John - Not sure if the one I have is a species or hybrid but perhaps yours is the standard Echeveria setosa while the one with bluer leaves is Echeveria setosa var. minor? There's a comprehensive list plus photos on the International Crassulaceae Network website which may help to identify your orange-flowered plant: http://crassulaceae.net/echeveriamenu/93-list-species

These Echeverias grow outside all year around. The ones in the Arid Bed have been damaged by wet but are still growing.
