However, H. mirabilis was first described by Adrian Hardy Haworth in 1812, H. paradoxa by Karl von Poellnitz in 1933 and H. triebneriana by Karl von Poellnitz in 1937 so I would think that enough time would have passed for someone to be growing these taxa commercially in the USA.<br /><br /Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13918279983645692294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-11024751740096215182014-02-23T08:34:03.159-08:002014-02-23T08:34:03.159-08:00Unknown:

Does your plant have small bristles on the edge of the leaves at each side of the window at the leaf tip. It also remind me a bit of some of the larger cymbiformis types, but they don't have the bristly edges.

However with regards to all the pups ...<br /><br />1) Some Haws are prolific puppers, some species are extremely stingy.<br /><br />2) IME, most Haws do not typically pup from underneath momma as to aloes and most other plants. Instead, the pups arise between the leaves along the stem as you see with yours.<Paulnoreply@blogger.com
