“Haworthias”
Presented by:
Robert H. Webb
………………………………..................................
The genus Haworthia is mostly from South Africa and contains many of the prettiest and most valuable (by size) plants in the succulent world. The number of species is difficult to pin down but various sources range from 80 to over 400 species. Including the genera Astroloba and Poelnitzia, the genus, part of the Aloe family, has many diverse forms typically segregated into hard body and soft body groups. We've travelled extensively in South Africa and have seen many of these species, mostly in the company of a world expert, Gerhard Marx. This talk will show many species, in the veld and in cultivation, as well as some very interesting and expensive hybrids that have been produced.
We are always thinking of your safety and if you are not feeling well we ask that you join us on the internet Zoom presentation. If you're doing well and would like to attend you are perfectly welcome to come and join us for this really special in person presentation (masks will be encouraged but not required). This meeting will also be a Zoom program and will be an important educational and informational event you must see. Also, if using Zoom, be sure to log in to win a $25.00 gift certificate from TCSS or choose a copy of the new 3rd edition of the Field Guide to Cacti & Other Succulents of Arizona. Excellent plant give aways will take place at the in person meeting but that portion of the program, because of the recording, will not appear on Zoom. When leaving the live in person meeting, please enjoy great refreshments provided by our member volunteers and also, everyone can get a special free plant offered to you by the TCSS.
