I think that Haworthia emelyae might be H. rodenii but i'm no expert, maybe my plant is mislabeled and yours is right :D I love that Monanthes polyphylla is that an easy one to grow?
 
I retract my Haworthia ID as i just googled H. rodenii versus what you have it labeled as and I have come to the conclusion that my tag is incorrect :blush:

So far it has been. Have had it a bit over year. Did have a bit of die off of the older leaves this past summer but I don't know whether that was just because they were older leaves or if it was due to the hot summer sun (SW unobstructed window) or other culture issues. All the branches/rhizomes/whatever are sending out new growth currently though. It's in a 2" pot to give you an idea of just how small those little leaves are.

Nothing wrong with that. If my tag had been incorrect, I certainly would have wanted to know. :)
 
I concur with Mason, that Monanthes polyphylla is beautiful. I will have to be on the lookout for one...

Thanks for sharing.
 
Must... keep... self... from... buying... more... cacti/succulents!

Awesome pictures!
Makes me want to expand my collection to more than the couple cacti I have...
 
Cremmy, Bananaman ... contact me in the spring. Depending on what you like we may be able to work something out. ;)
 
I'd love to do a swap when the weather is warmer, to all who mentioned it :) Thank you DragonsEye, I will definitely try to remember to contact you, would love to try out some of your beautiful plants!
 
Nice monanthes! Haven't seen one in a long time. Since you're an Agave victoria-reginae fan, have you ever seen the cv "himesasanoyuki" (sometimes spelled/misspelled "himesanoyuki")? A NICE compact dwarf form with lots of leaves. Tends to offset a little too much when young, but that means you can divide and distribute. Pics of that one don't really do it justice (the one of a large plant on the Huntington site is good, tho) - it's a beauty and not too slow. You get the nice spherical shape even in plants only 4" or so across.
