Calling them E.obesa is a bit of a misnomer......very easy to see they are all hybrids of (choose any) obesa, vallida, meloformis and/or symmetrica.

Yes they are making flowers.

It is very difficult to know exactly what is the percentage of each, then is more easy to say obesa, not? Chris

Maybe for you but it's not correct......much better (and if you're selling them) more honest to say they are hybrids of unknown origin.

I for one dislike crested plants, although I do have a Yavia crypt. that decided to go cristate a few years ago. Subsequently is has not flowered since to my dismay. Cheers

But you don't even know for sure that obesa was actually one of the parents or whether they are (more likely) mutli-generational produce of very suspect heritage.

Hi suculentia.
Nice unusual plants but Chris R is right they are hybrids.
Grow them for what they are and enjoy them, but put hybrid on label.
Or you could put them on ebay with a price tag of £100, there are plenty
of idiots out there.

Yes obesa hybrid, my friends crossed them and got these from seeds. I never told that Chris was wrong, not?
