Locking the greenhouse up this evening I remembered having this one. XGasteraloe (AKA as Gasterhaworthia) Royal Highness. Weather not good outside so took this photo indoors this evening. (Royal/Tudor!)

Sorry for the comment, but I couldn't resist. Almost all hybrids of E. colorata and, E. laui look great, particularly with each other.
Your pot combination looks quite nice, and should work well for some time. The rest of your posts are also well balanced.

No need to apologise Tom, thank you for your kind comments. I am a big advocate of using nice pots for my plants and think what you do in the USA is brilliant; displaying/judging plants in nice decorative pots is better than what we do in the UK. I keep quite a few of my collection indoors and the decorative pots fit in with the interior decor, its keeps my wife happy. A large percentage of my collection, the bigger plants, in the greenhouse are in decorative pots. The William Morris design ceramics feature heavily because my wife and I like them. Since lockdown finding them for sale has become more difficult. The former President of the BCSS, Colin Walker, is a big supporter of using nice decorative pots.

Oh gosh, yes, they should be kept behind glass and never looked at or they get marks...

This year I'm moving from plastic to ceramic. Here's a small snapshot from the greenhouse this afternoon.

A last minute warning, although we have a strong competition already!
