x Graptoveria 'Spirit of '76' - A small rosette forming succulent with gray lilac-colored rounded leaves. This hybrid between Graptopetalum and Echeveria was created by Charles Uhl and named and introduced by John and Mary Bleck of Abbey Gardens Nursery to commemorate the US bicentennial in 1976. It was first descibed in Horticulture Magazine with a color photo and distributed by the Huntington Botanic Garden as ISI 1148. It is very similar if not identical to Graptoveria 'Debbie', introduced by Robert Foster as a seedling of 'Spirit of 76'.
