Haworthia M280620A

A complex hybrid of Hawortha splendens and others with multi colouring including white, grey and pinkish brown.. Created by Gerhard Marx.

(Some leaves had a bit of damage and the photo was edited best I could)

Haworthia 'Emile's Giant'

A very attractive and unusual combination of Haworthia comptonia, truncata and possibly others. It is a large growing plant created by Emile Heunis.

Haworthia 'Lomun'

A very attractive hybrid, with pink and brown coloring, from the ' Lombard Star' series, 'Lombard Star x Malice', created by Gerhard Marx.

Eriospermum dielsianum ssp dielsianum - R 3454 Patryskloof E of Worcester

I am never confident when dealing with the differences between Eriospermum dielsianum and Eriospermum  pubescens.  In the latter case the abaxial leaf hairs are pressed against the leaf and
have a golden brown shine. In the case of Eriospermum dielsianum the hairs are straight and tend to curl. I must admit they are still very close to the leaf surface. The flowers of the two species are similar.

The leaves are quite variable in shape, but are mostly heart shaped

I hope to supply more info later.

Habitat

Haworthia 'Shambala'

A very special plant from the 'Diana' series with a grey and white epidermis. Created by Mr. Gerhard Marx.

Euphorbia polygona var. minor - Schoemanspoort area

An attractive variety. Similarly white to the Uniondale form but smaller.

The cyathia are green and the plants belong to the Horrida group.

According to my knowledge the plants only occur in one small area. There are reports however of similar plants being wider spread.

Photographs by mr. Gerhard Marx.

Haworthia 'Green Velcro'

A hybrid by Mr. Gerhard Marx using Japanese and his own material.

'The Japanese H. pygmaea hybrid ‘Ginga-Tetsudo’ was  involved here and crossed with the Sterling Star x Sago Jelly hybrid named ‘Sylphite’.

The plant has an almost ethereal silvery green aura.'
