| I love plants that have shape, color and texture that can be appreciated from way up close, micro-nature is fantastic |

| Wonderful stuff! I agree about enjoying up close and personal views of plants, and yours are beauties -- every one of them! It's interesting, I've been wanting M. leuthyi for a while. I just found an online source, but I passed because I didn't like the look of the "lollipop" grafts. (It can have different rootstock, but it should be discrete.) |

| I got the mamm luethyi a few years back on ebay non-grafted...however, while I don't know for sure I really think they were collected from the wild so I was very upset when I received the plants - they looked too large to have been seed grown. I unknowingly helped to support the illegal collection of plants from their habitats. I make sure to take extra special care of that plant because I now know that it is not readily available on it's own roots. But as you can see from the photos I think the plant is happy and hence so am I. I've heard they root easily from cuttings, so you could buy a grafted plant and take some cuttings off of it. I've also seen seed available if you have some patience. |

| Beautiful plants - all of them. Impressive pachy's. The middle Aloe looks alot like Aloe cryptopoda - H |
|
| You have some great looking plants there. M. luethyi is very easy to root. Just buy yourself a grafted plant, wait for some sprouts, cut them off and root them. No difficulties in doing this at all. They're very similar to M. theresae in care. Pieter |

| I second that Hirsuta, A. cryptopoda or A. wickensii I forget which is current. |
