HAWORTHIA AND SUCCULENT AUCTION



This blog is dedicated to plants from desert regions around the world as well as plants that have adapted to withstand arid conditions, but do not occur in real deserts. Many of the plants are found in arid semi-desert regions. There will be a greater emphasis on succulent plants, but others will also be included. This blog deals with desert plants of the Americas, Africa, Arabia and others. We are situated in South Africa and South African plants are likely to feature more dominantly. The pictures taken are from our private botanical desert garden at Leopoort near Oudtshoorn, from plants in nature, as well as other collections.

Haworthia cooperi var.venusta is known from one locality in the Alexandria district south of Grahamstown.

This remarkable variety is covered with white hairs, an uncommon feature in the genus Haworthia, although some retuse plants have been discovered recently, with a similar characteristic.

Haworthia cooperi var.venusta is in high demand by collectors.

The plants seem to be more difficult in cultivation then other Haworthia cooperi varieties
