I love this Time of year when they are colouring up

Nice! I wonder where it gets the red from? None of my plants similar to this one get red colours, even in the sun.

I've some seedlings from the Haworthia Society which are hybrids and some are really dark in colour. Almost chocolate.

I have this "bog standard" H. cooperi v. truncata (or maybe it's v. delsiana, some here (link) seem to have a reddish hue) that goes reddish even in my conditions (forgive the hard water residue, I cannot be bothered to properly clean it since I got it...):

This is one of my seedlings from seed that was sent from South Korea. His hybrids were very variegated and I think his two childrten did the crosses on these, so we don't know which variegated obtusa's the seed was from. I have one other red lined one, two dark green and the others vary in their variegation but are plane green/yellow/clear.
Anyone want to buy/swap this for a hybrid I don't have?

That’s a stunning colour Allan.
