Stricta is a species with a ton of variety, including leaf shape, plant size, bloom color, and leaf color.  Stricta will quickly form clumps, although individual plants grow bigger alone than in a clump which is typically not true of clumps. This variety of stricta has a large open rosette with long leaves that densely stack and recurve, giving the appearance of the famed Addams Family character

 

Note that the offsets available have not yet begun to truly open up and recurve but will over time
