Plant numbers do not represent the number of plants that I've sold - so far I've sold none, but I do need to offset the heating cost of New Jersey winters somehow. The numbers are actually the picture number on my digital camera, and I mark this on the pot. |
6374 Haworthia pygmaea, from Japan. This clone, unlike almost all others, does offset. As you can see, it develops exceptional color throughout most of the year, reverting to normal dusty green in the low light of winter. The offset is available, not the parent plant. |
6362 A cross of Aloe Meyerii x cv 'Dorian Black". Stays small and manageable sized. Leaves unusual greenish-white with medium to dark green markings, color determined by the light intensity. In the early spring as light suddenly increases, the new growth becomes darker. Look closely and you can see the variations. Two small offsets are available, not the mother plant. |
6383 H. limifolia uboembensis. This particular clone from Steven Hammer grows into beautifully colored clusters and forms a great specimen plant in a short time. (for Haworthias, that is!) Offsets available. |
6385 H. koelmaniorum. This particular clone is unique in offsetting and will form large clusters if you wait enough years; its slow growing. Of all the different clones that I have, only two offset, and the other one is miniature. This plant has two offsets, and the large offset is available. |
6386 H. limifolia from N. Natal, RSA in flower. Two offsets are available. |

The plants shown on this page are from a cross of H. emelyae x (H. springbokvlakensis x H. emelyae magnifica). The H. emelyae parent is a beautiful whitish wide-leaved clone that develops a deep pink flush with yellow overtones in the spring. The other hybrid parent has deep mahogany color with the uppen leaf face densely covered in white bristles, and shows the characteristic purple stripes of the springbokvlakensis parent. These seedlings seem to have inherited the slowness of one parent without much of the color I was looking for. Nevertheless, some seedlings do have a some white opaqueness, and some flush light pink in the spring, but I don't remember which ones - mostly, they look like H. emelyae. |

This plant is sparsely branched, and will make an execellent visual structure as it matures. Likes bright light, but avoid hot direct sun. Six+ years old. |
6399 Euphorbia capsaintemariensis grown from seed, three years old. Has upright, yellowish conical flower bracts. |

#G01 Gasteria carinata var. verrucosa ex var Jaarsveld. Very long, narrow, and concave dramatically swept and curved, white-tuburculated, pointed leaves. A tinge of pink in the center in spring. This excellenet clone makes an impressive specimen plant. Not common. Offset. |
|
#G02 Gasteria carinata var. verrucosa ex var Jaarsveld. Very long, narrow, and concave dramatically swept and curved, white-tuburculated, pointed leaves. A tinge of pink in the center in spring. This excellenet clone makes an impressive specimen plant. Not common. Clump. |
|
#G03 Gasteria baylissiana ex Hammer. Arched, leathery dark grey-green, with leaves uniformly covered in minute white spots. When spring light light increases, leaf edges show a pinkish tinge. Clump. |
|
#G04 Gasteria batesiana Barberton ex Hammer. Wide, flat, strap leaves radiate in full reddish-purple color low to the ground. Large, dramatic, pendulous flowers on arching bract. Offset. |
6418 Cerarria pygmaea. Tiny tree-like plant with dusty-looking blue-green leaves forms a natural bonsai with peeling bark on a tiny trunk with age. Severe pruning can yield a strange stump-like trunk with a crown of leaves. Grown from a cutting, this one is branching. Can be elevated a little at a time over some years to show swollen roots. Three years old. |
6419 Cerarria pygmaea. Tiny tree-like plant with dusty-looking blue-green leaves forms a natural bonsai with peeling bark on a tiny trunk with age. Severe pruning can yield a strange stump-like trunk with a crown of leaves. Grown from a cutting, this one is branching and even blooming at the end of the highest branch - you need a microscope to see the flowers. Can be elevated a little at a time over some years to show swollen roots. Three years old. |
6420 Commiphora mossambensis. Good bonsai subject with glossy leaves. Three years old, grown from field collected seed. |

4514 Dyckia x Sea Urchin. Grown from seed, this one now dividing into three growing centers. (The picture taken in summer 2006 after being outdoors for a few months.) Green to deep pink coloration determined by light intensity, so that sometimes banded coloration shows on the new, radiating leaves when weather patterns give long periods of sunshine alternating with overcast days. Plant remains small at about 8 inchs. |

Deep plum to wine red coloration determined by light intensity, so that sometimes banded coloration shows on the new, radiating leaves when weather patterns give long periods of sunshine alternating with overcast days. Plant remains small at about 8 inchs. |
