BCSS - Forum

I got these at a recent Branch meeting - some purchased and some in the raffle. Some other plants came with accurate labels or I've managed to identify
#1 I have no idea
#2 is labelled as Haworthia but which I know not
#3 I think is Aeonium arboreum var. atropurpureum cv Schwarzkopf (Zwartkop)
#4 I think is an Opuntia - but which I know not
#5 I think is an Echinopsis but which I know not

1. is a Stapeliad - maybe a Huernia such as H. aspera. As ever, a flower would help.
2. ?
3. Correct, A. Zwartkop
4. Opuntia monacantha f. monstruosa variegata
5. Not sure, could well be Echinopsis. A photo from a high angle would help. Shots from vertically above aren't always as helpful as a diagonal downward angle.

I think #1 is a rather etiolated Euphorbia suzannae...

Thanks guys and gals
#5 from a slightly higher angle attached

I'll take a guess on the Haworthia and say H.mirablis

Many thanks Bryan

I agree 1 is Euphorbia suzannae,
and my guess for 2 would be a form of Haworthia retusa. Where's Bill when you need him?
3 is indeed Aeonium 'Zwartkop'.
4 could be Opuntia monacantha - the variegated form is often seen.
I'll pass on 5.
