ID of... gast-haw-aloe?

Post by AnTTun »

I got this plant as gasteria spec. Any hints about it's possible parents?

It looks like Gasteria 'Little Warty' which according to Cactus-art: http://www.cactus-art.biz/schede/GASTER ... _warty.htm is a hybrid of G. batesiana and G. 'Old Man Silver'. Of course, I could be quite wrong...

I agree with Diane.
We don't know the parentage of 'Old Man Silver'.
When 'Little Warty' flowers its flowers are typical of longiflorae G. batesiana.

I admit I had doubts about both IDs :) :( I have LW and the leaves grow differently than this one. Then I've read description more carefully (Leaves: Distichous or more or less spiraled) and... thank you both :)
