RUNYONII 'Topsy Turvy'

This mutation of Echeveria runyonii  with leaves appearing to be positioned upside-down originated in California and was  named by Myron Kimnach E. runyonii 'Topsy Turvy'. Its exact origin is not known. Very often the flowers are heavily distorted and more rarely even the flower stalk is fasciated. Moreover from leaf you can get any of those forms, even 2 leaf shapes growing off one leaf, and at any time they can turn into ‘Topsy Turvy’. It was distributed as ISI 1647.

Une intéressante mutation, avec feuilles positionnées à l'envers, nommée E. runyonii 'Topsy Turvy', laquelle est d'origine horticole, de Californie. Les fleurs sont très souvent déformées et, plus rarement, la hampe florale peut être cristée.

A cristate form of E. runyonii 'Topsy Turvy' was published as E. runyonii 'Illusion' by Harry Mak in Photo album of succulents in color 3: 109 (Mar 2003).
