Mainly Haworthia and Gasteria, a few other South African succulents and the odd spiky thing.

Re: Astropytum Babies Update
Love the pink spotties, Bill! My gymnos and parodias have the same kind of spots.. is that normal to every spiky seedling? (apart from Opuntia, which seem to be worlds apart).
When I first saw those feathery hairs on mine (like yours on the glowing teardrop) I thought - mould! But they are little roots on wrong-way-up plants I guess. Clever how they seem to be able to right themselves.
