Gasteria bicolor "Oakhill"

Subect #2 in the hybridization experiment. I think the smooth texture and interesting colour variation would go great with the stacked growth of the "rawlinsonii" hybrid. Still need to decide which plant would act as the seed parent and which as the pollen parent - I have a few factors to consider.

Gasteria hybridization experiment: successful. Check my previous posts to see what I'm up to.

// Gasteria bicolor "Oakhill" bloom formation //

I was thinking of maybe writing a few formal articles on the Gasteria genus, and my personal studies of the plant requirements, propagation, and hybrids I see myself making in the near future. You know, just to keep some documentation. I don't care if anyone actually reads it.

Gasteria rawlinsonii × glomerata hybrid.

This is one of the subjects in yet another hybridization experiment. Purposely used because of it's stacked growth form and flatter leaves inherited from the "rawlinsonii" parent.
