Haworthia magnifica var. splendens

This is a specimen of Haworthia magnifica var. splendens, about 8.5 cm across.  It's developed the nice "porcelain" glaze, like a piece of fine pottery, that is characteristic of some of these plants. Since about 90% of the leaf surface is covered with this glaze, it's a very slow growing plant. It was grown from seed.

    Hi Ceci. It's one of our favorites as well. We're growing on several of them from field collected seed. David Martin of www.haworthia.com is a friend and he supplied us some seedlings a couple of years ago and we've grown them on. The really nice ones are very hard to part with.
    Shalom
