Another one for you Cohan ?Neogomesia agavoides . Raised from seed and now 9 years old and the first time that it flowers !I keep the old latin name (Neogomesia)while some others wil say that this must be fit into the genus Ariocarpus...
congratulations! this is one of my favourite Ariocarpus any reason to keep it out of Ariocarpus? i have heard the old name, but i have no idea what the change (or not) is based on
as for names--no rush to change labels if they were valid to start with, you can always look up synonyms, and sometimes they will come back if you wait i don't mind changing in cases where the old names are part of the tendency to label each new specimen as a genus or species, and later it becomes clear it is part of something else..but as we discussed elsewhere, it can be hard to find this information..(for example, i do not call Notocactus or Brasilicactus Parodia, but i think the case for Neochilenia and Neoporteria as distinct genera vs all in Eriosyce is hard to make when almost all species have been in both genera!)
Also love this types of Haworthia John.
Kris - Are there other species that look like this one?johnw
Hello John , I read your message again and looking again at your picture I think the one you show is not Haworthia retusa.I think it is Haworthia truncata .
I don't know how many Lithops that I have killed wish I could grow them.Angie
