Re: I think I might need a bigger greenhouse!!!!!!
I am sure that could be arranged Colin.
Well it was a surprise to get that number of plants, but yes definitely a good start Phil.
Yes Maria but it's bad when you get so many you run out of decent post to put them in.
Let's see Ernie among the more choice items are 2x limifolia variegated, pygmaea "Frosted Cream", pumila variegated, truncata "Lime Green", retusa "White ghost" and cooperi variegated and that's just out the Haworthia.

Re: I think I might need a bigger greenhouse!!!!!!
Hi Bill
The retusa 'white ghost' was a plant I had given Dave & originally came from Colin , who may have more info re origin for you.
Didn't realise it was special
, just one of the guys under the staging:P

Re: I think I might need a bigger greenhouse!!!!!!
Hi Tina & Bill,
Sorry, but I've no info on Haworthia 'White Ghost'. To me it's just another variegate.
Nothing especially special, but then I'm not that keen on variegates.

Hi Colin
Supposedly it's just a paler form of "Grey Ghost" and to me no different to Haworthia Acuminata variegata

Careful with all that drool, you could short out the server!
Some little sweeties there. Someone is going to be busy potting all those!
I can see you needing a very large bucket for soil mixing, Bill. Better still, how about one of those rotating drums used for drawing raffles?

Re: I think I might need a bigger greenhouse!!!!!!
well just over half are potted, might get the rest done this evening with luck, mind you I am scraping the barrel for pots some some will get redone after the northwest sale.
I have a simple way of doing my mixes, Julie, 25litre bag of each of the ingredients into a dustbin, tape the lid on and roll it up and down the drive a few times, job done.
