ID on a possible Snowfall

Hi,
I picked up this plant as a small offset labeled 'Snowfall'. As it has developed the leaf shaped has changed to a form which I don't believe is snowfall but more like cv. Bluewinds. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks

Color and basic look remind me of 'Eye Scream'. This is reputed by some to be the same cultivar as 'Bluewinds', so I would tend to agree with your premise.
Your plant is perhaps a little too small to say for sure, but that is my initial impression.
I originally obtained my 'Eye Scream' from P.D.N. 'Eye Scream' is a small plant when compared to 'Snowfall'; 'Eye Scream' seems to top out at about 12" in diameter, and is a prolific off-setter.
In the ground, 'Snowfall' can easily and quickly approach a meter in diameter when conditions are to its liking. It is a very meager off-setter.

Nice! I like a pale blue variegated plant. Not many of them.

Thanks Monger, It will be interesting to see what it turns into. Myself leaning towards eye scream/ bluewinds even more so now. The plant is in a 120mm pot as reference. The blue is a stand out, now to keep the water off the glacous coating

That is absolutely beautiful. Will you grow it in ground there.

This one will stay in a pot in the hot house for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately I don’t have much room for a big garden bed
