Couldn't find the Agaves Tina wanted but bagged this one for myself, just labelled Agave sp. A nice tri-colour whatever it is. Flash does not do it justice.

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

Gasteria, and off course Haworthia although not as many as I hoped to get of the latter, still there is the Haworthia convention next month.(:D

Little truncata!!?!?!

Beautiful sea of conos!

Hmm.. is that a Chirodopsis in the middle right, behind the tall one? It's called something else now but I forgot what.

Nope, on looking again it might be a bilobum or one of the flat toothy-looking jobs.

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

Oh Bill, I was going to give you a truncata just like that one! But since you went and bought one, I'll just have to keep it :(

Looks like some Monilaria-type thingies in there. Something beginning with M anyway :)
