Its a hybrid.
Probably including Aloe humilis

Being Agavoides nut I really like that cross of the Echeveria Romeo x (Ebony x cuspidata), I'd really like to see a mature plant. I understand Leo is planning to pollinate them when they mature. So its going to be some time before we see them available. Wayne Pollination will potentially result in ...

I am currently rooting a cutting for my third attempt. Any tips or suggestions as to what you are doing would be appreciated. I've...

Am I right in assuming the seed will be unknown hybrid of the mother plant and a nearby unknown interloper from my collection? Not necessarily, although the vast majority of Conophytum can be considered self-sterile, I have on occasions sown seed produced on some of my own plants and they have come...

Never mind the wait for pods to ripen. HOW do I get the buggers to flower in the first place? I have found that the critical month for me, here in Scotland, is August. I have had mature plants for a good number of years with no sign of flowering. Over many of those years we have had glorious autumn...

None are yet flowering plants, but of the 5 that made it past seedling stage 4 are red and 1 is a typical L.lesliei brown In a recent (last year)sowing of three 'Fred's Redhead' seeds from the MSG, 2 germinated and both were brown. It just goes to sho...
