: Haworthia magnifica v. splendens W. Albertinia

Haworthia magnifica v. splendens has had it's species name changed a few times but my labels stays the same !!! this is the form from W. Albertinia, one of my favourites.

This is one of my hybrids & I am particularly pleased with it. It is a cross between splendens(see last pic) & H. 'Bevs Wonder'.

: H 'Bevs Wonder' x H. mag. splendens W.Albertinia

Not everyones cup of tea but I like variegates in Haworthia so just a couple this is H. 'Pale Peace' an unsual type of variegation & it seems to be a popular plant !!!

: H. 'Pale Peace'

Last for now H. luteorosa at least that was the name on it, presumably a H. herbacea form or maybe just a hybrid ?

: H. luteorosa 'variegate'

It's mirabilis v splendens now

And no I dont change mine to suit the latest wind blow in Haworthia names either

Capillaris is bolusii in Bayer speak (that's for everyone else not you Phil

) but whatever it's a lovely plant, out of the six that's the one I covert!

Superb plants Phil, and Bill's earlier also. I have to just stand back in admiration of their quality!
We missed you at the Haworthia Society Show and BGM in Birmingham yesterday Phil??

Beautiful plants Phil, superbly staged.

Love the plants that have already been posted.
This is lovely thread as haworthis is such a good genus for variety, must admit I lean towards hybrids of these.

Here's my favourite Haworthia, it's a Harry Mak hybrid. (pygaea X venusta )

Thanks for the comments I will try to take a few more pics over the weekend or in the mean time maybe find some old pics !!
Sadly I couldn't make it yesterday Tony but looking at the phorum it seems as though there was good entries & attendance.
Just found an old pic of H.'Bevs Wonder' to complete the parentage of my hybrid in the earlier pic.
