| Anybody have any nice Gasteria batesiana? Seems like a cool plant.
Is this below Gasteria batesiana �Barberton� or 'Black Beauty' (the same thing right?)

| One gorgeous plant. I know I'd snatch it if I were to see it for sale! Love that texture, plus the hues. |

| If this is the old variety called 'Barberton', I will stop looking for that variety. Anybody know? I think it is cool. I think the color depends on the light. It is supposed to look almost blackish at times, and reddish when stressed by drought or cold. Other regional varieties have white taste buds.

| How bizarre ... the texture of that plant makes it look artificial. Interesting.
