They sprayed an Echeveria green? I've lost track of how many things are wrong with that.

I spotted some of those cacti with dyed blooms in Tesco the other day as well.

I should have thought if they wanted to make Echeverias interesting they could have used much more attractive colours.

(Not a serious post, before anybody reacts!)

I find ALL of these painted and mutilated plants to be complete abominations.
