Jim
I spoke to EvJ when he was last over, about these EvJ95-xx numbers.
They are not actual EvJ collection numbers, (these are all four digit numbers) but refer to numbers from a seed donation he made to the Haworthia society in 1995, thus EvJ95-30 would have been number 30 on that seedlist. I will check my set of seedlists for any more info in the morning.
Cheers

Re: Genus of the Month - Gasteria
I have invented a new illness- its called 'Gastromania' Suffers eat too much and have an obsession with Gasterias. This is half of my collection of Gasterias so I reckon that makes me a Gastromaniac

That G. rawlinsonii is absolutely gorgeous. I saw one going on ebay recently for around £50
Re: Genus of the Month - Gasteria
Hi Roger. I needed to get them out to clean them up ,check for bugs and sort labels out. I thought the picture of them alltogether fitted into the Months theme. Her who must be obeyed has just made me hump them all back so we can have tea on the patio.Roger Mann wrote:Hi Ernie, Nice plants.

Re: Genus of the Month - Gasteria
As you know, some of them can get quite big! This is one of the smaller G. excelsa seen southeast of Grahamstown last November. The largest at this site was more than three feet across.Bill wrote: ..... none are too big .....

Re: Genus of the Month - Gasteria
Hi Phil, a classy plant indeed, but methinks this hybrid between Gasteria batesiana and Aloe variegata is actually the one also seen as X Gasteraloe 'El Supremo'.Phil Hocking wrote:This one is from Sylvia. It is a hybrid between Gasteria batesiana and Aloe variegata and is called 'Royal Highness' This is a classy plant I think
Somerset Phil
'Royal Highness' is a X Gasterhaworthia and is quite different!
