I'm very fond of Haworthias.
I have about 30 and repotted the lot on Saturday.
As a collection they are very attractive but when you deal with each one individually you appreciate their shape and colouring so much more.
The flowers are nothing to look at generally and I snip them off when they appear but the sun gives beautiful colours to the leaves. H. mirabilis was particularly lovely also H. reticulata v. hurlingii.
I now have the pooter and the camera - all I need is to get the 2 together and hope the picture can do them justice.

Go at your own pace Mick, its not as complex as it first seems, and you will soon get the hang of it. I look forward to seeing your collection in due course.

I'd love to see some photo's of yours Mick... please. ;D Do Haworthias look like they are covered in cobwebs? Only if you don't look after them. You might be thinking of Sempervivums?
