Some sources list Harry Butterfield as the originator of this beautiful plant but others attribute it to Frank Reinelt. Harry Butterfield, was a known hybridizer of Echeveria. An article in the CSSA Journal titled "Echeverias for the Fancier" was about a talk Butterfield gave to the California Cactus and Succulent Society on Nov. 8, 1953 where he reviewed the known species and hybrids of Echeveria (unfortunately w/o mentioning 'Blue Curls'). Butterfield was also known to have createed several named hybrids of Echeveria gibbiflora, which would be one of the presumed parents of 'Blue Curls'. Mr. Reinelt, who operated Vetterle and Reinelt Nursery in Capitola, California, was more famous for his primrose, begonia and delphiniums but also worked with succulent plants. This hybrid is noted as the sister seedling to another well known cultivar, 'Blue Waves'. Both plants have nice color and form and are good for contrasting with narrow or smaller foliage plants.  Information displayed on this page about  Echeveria 'Blue Curls' is based on the research conducted about it in our library and from reliable online resources. We also note those observations we have made of this plant as it grows in the nursery's garden and in other gardens, as well how crops have performed in our nursery field. We will incorporate comments we receive from others, and welcome to hear from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
