We have a couple of seed grown Haworthia magnifica var. splendens GM447 that are finally of size that we'll be selling them on E-Bay. We also have a H. magnifica var. splendens GM452 available. This is GM447. It's developing a nice porcelain-like surface which is so much desired and has some very nice markings. Enjoy.

Echeveria pulidonis
Some of the best plants for color in the Fall are the Echeverias. These are a couple of new photos of Echeveria pulidonis taken Sunday by Lynn-Marie. We have lots of photos of these, but each new image seems to catch something more of their character. Today was a very drab, gray day; a few minutes in the greenhouse with these plants helps make the day look a lot brighter!

Agave lophantha 'Quadricolor'
Another group of plants which gives us color when there aren't many flowers are the Agaves, and one of my favorites is Agave lophantha 'Quadricolor'. It's one of those plants which improves with age. And it stays relatively small so it doesn't crowd you out of house and home.
Enjoy your plants!

Delosperma floribundum 'Stardust'
This is a nice hardy ice plant which has gorgeous purple and white flowers - Delosperma floribundum 'Stardust'. Give it bright light and soil with good drainage and it can brighten up some bare areas in the landscape. USDA Zones 6, 7 & 8.

Haworthia truncata
A beautiful day today; almost like the summer we didn't get! And that got Lynn-Marie going with the camera. This clump of Haworthia truncata had just been watered and it's loving the (temporary, I'm sure) warm weather. This is a small growing form in a small bonsai dish.

Epicactus Fruit
At this time of year it's mostly mesembs and Lithops which are flowering. But there are other places to look for interest other than flowers. Some of the plants themselves begin to show their leaf colors better than during the heat of summer. And then there's the occasional seed pod, like on this Epie. This one is Epicactus 'Delicate Jewels'.

Titanopsis calcarea
And yet another mesemb is blooming...Titanopsis calcarea. Who can resist such contrast of textures and colors?
Aloe 'Wunderkind'
There are a lot of lovely new Aloe cultivars being introduced recently. This one's been around a few years, a Brian Kemble selection at the Ruth Bancroft Garden in Walnut Creek, California. It was then introduced through the ISI. It's a gorgeous little plant, a worthy introduction to any succulent collection.
Enjoy your plants!
