Mainly Haworthia and Gasteria, a few other South African succulents and the odd spiky thing.

Aaah, that beautiful Iced Gem plant again.. and with a partly open flower.

The hypogaea must be very tiny, unless you have found the world's biggest fish gravel, Bill. :)

Unknown.. let me guess. Light pink flowers?

NB. Anyone failing to provide a sensible name for me to address them will be called, or referred to, as Fred.

Lokks like a form of Gymno damsii,Bill? If i remember right its lumped under G.anisitsii now,
If Julie is right and the flowers are pink it could be G.damsii var.tucavocense.

Cheers Roy

At just over 2" it's bigger than the un-named gymno Julie.

If I remember correct it does have mid pink flowers, so I'll check that out Rob.
