Are they all cacti seedlings Sue?

todays will be last for a while. I thought that the leaves would be fatter with using H. springbokvlakens.
H.springbokvlakense hybrid X magnifica hybrid cv Black Form Might be promising though.

No Mike, I have a few hard leaved forms but I don't try crossing them with anything.
I believe the ones I use have a much greter chance of variation in colour, pattern and leaf shape.

H.white widow X splendens GM452

I can't disagree either.
Todays: H picta hybrid X pictas

Thank you Paul

H.comptoniana 2015 X comptoniana's.
This stays this colour all year round.

Thanks Mat, another senior moment

Hi Mat, I think yours is just Kotomine, whereas Mine is a X but has taken its mothers looks. This happens sometimes, its as though the silver Bug made the Kotomine 'self'. Todays photo will have to be inspected as it does not seem to be growing. I willcheck the roots later today. H. Sugar Candy X op...

I don't mind Mat, it may look like Kotomine but the two plants I crossed to get this were H.Kotomine and Silver Bug.
It obviously wanted to look like its mum

Yes Terry but only for the moment, as it may flatten out as it gets older. If it doesn't, I will call it that.
