Here's haworthia lockwoodii, I'm not sure why I'm growing this as it doesn't look much but it's doing quite well for what was originally a tiny little plant from Bob wellens, now in a 23/4 " pot.

Hi Antun
I'm not sure about it really but read an article that they are challenging to grow so thought I'd give them a go ( I have two).

Really they are just a curiosity I suppose , how could you put it in a show - looks like an odd onion, wonder how much bigger they get ?.

More than just a curiosity, Tina, but certainly a 'niche' plant. Here is the niche where they grow in habitat:

Certainly put it in a show - a 4 inch specimen will do very well in a restricted pot size Haworthia class.

... and did you hear the story of the Haworthia enthusiast's wife who thought she was helping her husband by removing all the 'dried-up' leaves from his plant - was she popular or what??!! :lol:

Plants in my collection that I really care about are mostly those weird looking ones. I guess reason might be that I have something in common with them :)

Anyway, I just moved it closer to the top of the list...

P.S. You have only two? Tsk, tsk, I thought you said 4-5-6 of a kind is your regular state in GH... :)
P.P.S. Lets not hijack the topic more than this :)

Very nice well grown plants as always Sylvia. I do not think your last plant is what is commonly grown as the cv H. 'Kegani' but I am confident it is another well known Japanes cv that goes under the name of H. 'Yumedono'.

Hi Phil:
Thank you for your comments. I am sure you are right about the last Haworthia, I must have misnamed it somehow and didn't notice it until after I posted it when it was too late to alter it.
