Haworthia mutica GM 394

This is Haworthia mutica from seeds collected near Protem in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. I really love the markings on these plants.

Haworthia magnifica var. splendens JDV 94/108

The habitat for these plants is East of Albertinia in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. Much sought after for markings and coloration, as well as the patina which they get with maturity.

Slow growing in cultivation, but not especially difficult.

Haworthia truncata var. maughanii GM287

These are some of the Haworthia truncata var. maughanii that we have, grown from GM287 seed. They've grown into absolutely beautiful plants - in my humble opinion! Mature plants like these can be a little spendy, but they're worth every penny.

And for those who are new to growing haworthias, we've posted an article on this subject here.

Haworthia truncata 'tenuis'

Not generally accepted as a variety by Bayer, this is nevertheless one of the smallest forms of this species and has its own charm.

This is the last of the Haworthia truncata plants for a while. Tomorrow I'll begin some of the H. magnifica var. splendens.

Haworthia truncata II

 

A few more of H. truncata, showing again the diversity that's present in the species...and again, some variegation.

Haworthia truncata I

These are a couple of pictures of variations on a theme, the "theme" being Haworthia truncata. Both are seed grown, but show the variability within the species and the interesting variations which can occur within a group of seedlings. 

 

 

The first picture is of a plant from seed which was collected from large growing plants, what used to be labeled "crassa". The second picture is one which is showing a bit of variegation.

Haworthia bayeri GM264

The first of the haworthias I'll be posting over the next week is this nice specimen of Haworthia bayeri, grown from GM264 seed. The dark leaves are set off with the amazing lineation.

Originally included in H. emelyae, GM264 is from near Uniondale in South Africa.

Photos in our yard

Tomorrow I'll post some pictures of some Haworthias, but today just a couple of shots Lynn-Marie took in our yard yesterday. A little bit of Spring in Portland, Oregon.
