Haworthia blackburniae var. blackburniae W.F. Barker

While not particularly difficult to grow, this Haworthia is prized for its novelty, that is its extremely  un-Haworthia look. Those who are not Haworthia aficionados, seem to struggle to understand the beauty of this species. Very slow to grow and propagate; these are seldom seen in collections. 

A look at this plants in August 2000.
