Anyone growing Ledebouria variegated or String of Pearls Variegat

I had both of these in the past. The variegated String of Pearls I had for years, they grew well and I shared cuttings. I lost them during a move 10 years ago, however. They were fairly easy and interesting.

The Lebebouria I had gotten as a small plant in trade. I love this variegated form of this interesting plant. It started to recoever and grow, but was overwatered when I went on vacation and rotted.

I would love to get both of these again, but have not seen them. Does anyone grow these. I maybe would like to trade you if I have something you are interested in. I don't have a greenhouse and grow all my plants in a my office or at home in temperate NJ. However, I do have some nice and unusual Sansevieria varieties, some Sarracenia (American Pitcher Plants), some unusual Philodendron, Monsteras, native plant seed, streaked Hosta seed etc.

    I've seen variegated Drimiopsis offered many times, but not variegated Ledebouria......what species was it and do you have any pics of the plant? Best of luck finding it :o) Dan

    cactusmharris. Thank you. I realize that is probably more appropriate. However, since I don't frequent this forum, I was not sure how active the exchange part was here.
    Bluebonsai- Is String of Pearls Drimiopsis now, now Senecio? I have to look it up. The Lebebouria was a variegated form of the most common one, formerly Scilla violacea. Beautiful little plant! -Chris

    Chris if it wasn't posted here, I would never have seen your request. I don't go looking for exchanges. I very seldom exchange anything. Thank you for posting here. Norma

    Chris,

    I would love to see a pic of some of the plants you are talking about, especially the Sansevieria varieties and Philodendrons. I could always have room for these in all the places I have room for, no HIGH sun plants.

    Please, e-mail some pic. I would even buy a couple from you..

    Always looking for the unusal to add to my unusuals..lol

    OK, a couple photos of possible plants. A golden-variegated Monstera, A beautiful upright Sarracenia moorei hybrid, a variegated Aloe nobilis, a fantastic Sansevieria 'Morgenstern's Futura Aurea' which is the same as 'Asahi'. I also have Sansevieria 'Jade Dwarf Marginated', Sanseverieria kirkii kirkii (at right), Philodendron 'Pink Princess', the "bluish" Phildodendron (P. glaucaphyllum but that name is not valid any more). I may have a better Blue Philo then the one pictured. I also have possibly some other Sarracenia,Sanseveiras, Aloe saponaria variegate pups, Aloe "Quicksilver (?)" pup, other Sansevieria. There is a small, two-leaf Philo. giganteum variegated there but that has not done too well for me.
    Would really like that variegaed Ledebouria! Photo?
