Haworthia cooperi var. pilifera MBB6565

Some of you may be wondering what the letters and numbers following the name mean. This code tells us where the seed for this particular plant was collected. In this case, for example, the seed was collected about 5 km east of East Somerset in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. The MBB refers to M. Bruce Bayer, one of the most important field students and author of many works about haworthias.
Enjoy your plants!

Haworthia cooperi var. pilifera MBB6565

Another one of those haworthias which isn't that available is the pilifera variety of H. cooperi. We have a small collection of these, again seed grown, which we highly prize.
