It looks like A. rauhii is in it somewhere, doesn't it. But the leaves are very narrow. I'd like to know what this is, too, if anyone has a name.

"Delta Lights" has been suggested.

A. 'Delta Lights' has quite broad leaves. Do the leaves get broader as it gets bigger?

I am advised by those who know that that is what will happen.

Anybody else familiar with Delta Lights?

Delta Lights has wide, short leaves, it's another one from Altmans. The one in the photo could be Silver Ridge, one of the earlier Griffin ones, it needs to be a bit larger to be sure,

Thanks Stuart. The plant it came from didn't have wide leaves so Silver Ridge seems more likely.

This is the plant I have labelled Silver Ridge (the one in the foreground). I like it because it seems really free-flowering and is happily flowering outside through the summer.

Any chance of a close up of a rosette, please?
