Haworthia arachnoides var. scabrispina

Another unique and outstanding haworthia, Haworthia arachnoides var. scabrispina. We only have a limited number of these in our collection and they're highly prized.

Our nighttime temps have risen and hopefully we're past those cold nights with the threat of frost. Now it's rain...but it's warmer!

This is a picture from our archives. I just haven't had time to get out and do some photography. This plant was grown from collected seed but the location data was lost. Outstanding plants.

I hope you all had wonderful Christmas and New Year's celebrations. We were blessed by the presence of our granddaughter (13 years old) for a little over a week. Now that she's returned to California we're struggling with colds and bronchitis, but hopefully we'll get over this soon enough. Our weather finally turned cold for the new year, finally getting some below freezing temeratures for a few nights.

I'll try to be much more regular in my posting in the weeks and months ahead.

I was hoping we could get through the winter without any snow but that wasn't to be. We got about 3 or 4 inches (7.5 - 10 cm.) of snow this evening. It'll probably be gone by tomorrow morning.

This is another of my favorite haworthias: Haworthia arachnoidea var. scabrispina. It's quite rare in collections since it's one of those which doesn't produce offsets readily and is a slow grower. This one was grown from seed and is about 5.5 cm diameter.
