L. ruschiorum is best not grown for its flowers. This "Nelii" is well short of average :)

The flowers on this L. verruculosa look like they'd be more at home on an Aloinopsis. On the plus side, they have a strong scent. On the minus side, it is more sweaty socks than Chanel.

Nice pink flower, even the anthers are pink :)

Here are some verruculosa seedlings with flower colors between fresh-minted pink and more mature straw yellow.
