Aloe species

We've lost the name tag on this Aloe. It didn't have a name on it when we bought it, then we did some research and found the name, and then we lost it. Ouch. I'm sure we'll find it again, but in the meantime we'll just have to enjoy it...nameless.

Unless, of course, one of you can ID it. The leaves are almost Gasteria like in their roughness and you can see the glorious flower. Help!

Turbinicarpus valdezianus crest

Another example from our crested and monstrose plant collection. This is Turbinicarpus valdezianus, an old crest, beginning to show it's age.

Another photo of some of the other plants in the collection.

Echeveria nodulosa 'Painted Beauty'

Echeveria 'Painted Beauty' has become a favorite of many...including myself. But, of course, I have many favorites. A natural variant of Echeveria nodulosa, the markings are about as flashy as you can get. 

Peace.

Another Echeveria Flower

This is the flower of Echeveria setosa var. ciliata, at least the one we have listed in our catalog as such. It was originally purchased as Echeveria ciliata, but it's a little different than what most expect under that name, especially in the flower. And an outstanding flower it is.

Enjoy your plants!

Haworthia decipiens var. pringlei

You have to get up close and personal to see the fascinating structure of these plants, Haworthia decipiens var. pringlei (seed grown from MBB6583 seed). I guess I'm going to have to find my closeup lens and get up closer and even more personal.

OK. Who took my closeup lens???

Echeveria flower

Don't you love those flowers? I'm not sure, but these are either Echeveria 'Ramellette' or "Orange Bouquet", which may be the same thing. I didn't I.D. the picture earlier, so...

Gymnocalycium uruguayense crest

From our collection of crests, this is a crest of Gymnocalycium uruguayense. You either like them or not, but I like 'em weird. To the eye of some, this - and most crests - qualifies. But I think they have a beautiful, sculptural quality to them.

Enjoy your plants!

Echeveria 'Doris Taylor'

One of the classic Echeveria hybrids, Echeveria 'Doris Taylor' is a real beauty, a cross between Echeveria setosa and Echeveria pulvinata. An outstanding and easy to grow plant which should be in everyone's Echeveria collection.
