I found a few beauties the other day.

A small-but-perfect A. (ferdinandi-regis) victoriae-reginae. I'd love a seminar on the proper use of the ferdinandi- vs. victoriae- names sometime, by the way.

It has a pup, so I do pause -- aren't we supposed to be a solitary rosette here?

I've had this next dude for about a year, and actually have observed a little growth.

Gasteria brevifolia(?)... I think that name is unresolved, so I am confidently uncertain.

Silver-blue G. glomerata I liked. More silvery and fatter-leaved than the glomerata I already have.

And I am thrilled to now care for the following massive hybrid (G. bicolor?).

It is noted as being from the grower's personal collection, which probably should read This plant is special or a rarity for this wholesale supplier. Instead, it reads to me a little of that and Take good care of this one. It might have been a little tough to part with. I haven't had this obsessive hobby long enough to have any plant even remotely this large, so this is special.

And, Jeff, here's a guy you would recognize, fully plumped. Has a little pup on the other side.
