Re: Warning!

Bill, The latest Haworthia Journal was posted on Saturday so you should receive it and the seed list soon. Good news for those who can't wait to get sowing (more) seed! The seed list is very good, with lots of Aloes, Haworthias and Gasterias, and a few other species. Some seed was donated by David C...

Re: Muiria hortenseae seedlings

Well done in getting this far. When did you sow the seed, and how long did they take to germinate?
