Ballerina

Origin unknown. According to Rudolf Schulz, Aeonium in habitat and cultivation, 152, 2007, most likely a hybrid of A. glutinosum, possibly with A. canariense.

Also distributed as Aeonium 'Frosty' - a name probably not established.

Note :

As the photos below show, A. ‘Ballerina' is sometimes reverting = producing green, non variegated rosettes on one and the same plant. These green plants are distributed under the illegitimate name “ A. ‘Goblin’ ". The name is illegitimate because one and the same plant cannot have two names ….. The correct name of this plant is A. ‘Ballerina’, a name established already in 2003. The green rosettes should be referred to as reversions of A. ‘Ballerina’.

*Aeonium* ‘Ballerina’ hort ex H.C.K.Mak. Protologue standard photo, from Mak, *Photo album of succulents in color* 3: 77, 224. (Mar) 2003. Mak's brief description reads : "White variegated sticky leaves."
