Named “for one of Bob [Schick]’s, and the Huntington’s, most persistent and indefatigable supporters, Norma Lewis, aka “Crasulady” [sic]. The genus Crassula is just one of her passions and her enthusiasm and prodding contributed to the production of Gordon Rowley’s Crassula, A Grower’s Guide in the form of many photographs by this author and, some by Norma herself, of the extensive collection of the genus that she accumulated. Other passions include Haworthia, Gasteria, Hoya, Sansevieria and, yes, Schick Echinopsis hybrids, all of which she has tirelessly promoted and generously shared. It seems fitting that Bob wanted to return the favor in some small measure by naming one of his choicer selections in her honor.”
