A few Haworthia hybrids

[Bill]

Some people would have you think Haworthia are green blobs, well some of my plants beg to differ.

Excellent Bill, thanks for sharing.

Very very dark green blobs?

Very nice! I like the solitary plants, individual characteristics stand out quite a bit more than with the clumps I usually end up with. Do you keep pruning the 'mother plant' or do you replace it with an offset every so often?

I like the pink tinged plants.

We had a talk by Stirling Baker on Haworthias. He brings plants to show you. They were equally beautiful to see.

Thanks for posting the photos, Bill.

It is one of the best things in this hobby (obsession?) of ours to be able to enjoy other people's plants. I don't grow Haworthias myself, but these are gorgeous plants and if only I had the room........!

Lovely plants, Bill! There are some really outstanding Haworthia hybrids around (evidenced by the prices they can fetch on eBay... ), and I've grown a few myself, which I hope you won't mind me adding to your thread. Of course, so many hybrids turn out to be nondescript mongrels, but a few gems often appear in a batch of seed.
The following are my hybrids - mostly from open-pollinated plants, so no parentage is given (although I know some of the seed parents.)

These types don't always offset but if they do I remove the offsets when they are big enough and have their own roots.

Yes Stirling eschews the normal slideshow/PowerPoint, for show and tell makes a nice change.

You're welcome.

It is indeed, there's always room
