Gasteria and Aloe variegates

A couple of gasterias and an aloe variegate form a border for a Fockea in the background. I'll post closeups of the variegates in the next day or so.

Enjoy your plants!

Gasteria batesiana hybrid variegate

A very heavily variegated specimen of Gasteria batesiana. I was beginning to be concerned that I would be forced to graft this because of lack of much of any green, but the new growth has eliminated any concerns. Again, like most gasterias, very easy to grow.

Variegated Lithops

Someone recently asked, "What happened to that variegated lithops plant you blogged about some time ago? Well, this is the answer. It's different, but still variegated. It was purchased in 2007 at a small nursery on the way to Barstow from Mojave and it continues to amaze us.

 

No catchy title tonight, though several suggested themselves. But I think I'll stick to descriptive titles and leave the cutesy to others. Nevertheless, I'll certainly check the stats to see if the less descriptive and more exciting titles make a difference...:)

Miniature variegated Gasteria

These miniature Gasterias have been with us for a good many years. We've never had a name for them other than "miniature variegated Gasteria - Japanese hybrid". That's the name that was on them when we received them from one of the now long-since gone nurseries of the '60s. But they're beautiful little plants, and they do stay small!

Variegated Gasteria

We haven't really specialized in collecting Gasterias, but this is a nice little Gasteria variegate that I like quite a bit. Don't know it's name, if it has one. Help anyone?

Haworthia cymbiformis variegate

Today's Haworthia: a highly variegated Haworthia cymbiformis.. With an adequate supply of green and white leaves around the edges, the yellow part of the plant is able to remain strong and healthy looking, making for one stunning oddity.
