Haworthia "Scarlet Begonias" PP75 series SOLD OUT

Description:   These are beautiful good sized TC plants of a special selection from my Scarlet Begonias PP75 hybrid series.  These are different from previous Scarlet Begonias offerings.  My Scarlet Begonias hybrids are splendens x picta hybrids. I have made several different versions of these hybrids over the years.  This selection, which I am offering for the first time, is from a cross of two different Scarlet Begonias hybrids together. This selection is very pink and shiny. In the pictures you will notice some are more pink. Those have been grown in stronger light. The less pink, more white ones I have had in shadier conditions. 

Prickly Pete breeding program: 

I have been hybridizing Haworthia for close to 25 years. Most of my hybrids are multi-generational complex hybrids created from carefully selected parental stock. I breed to intensify and combine leaf and window coloration, leaf texture and leaf shape traits. 

Leaf coloration is influenced by the interaction of the pigmentation of the leaf and the coloration and the windows. The windows can be clear or can have spots which vary in size. In hybrids the spotting often turns the entire window opaque. I strive for obtaining reds, pink, purple, orange, phosphorescent green and iridescent blue.

Leaf texture can be smooth or bumpy or bristly. In some of my hybrids I get red colored spines and bumps.

Haworthia can have many variations in leaf shape. I use plants like truncata in my breeding to introduce variations in leaf shape.

In 2005 I started numbering my crosses to keep track of them. So my numbers are labeled as PP#. For each PP cross there will be multiple siblings, all genetically unique individuals that will express slightly different traits. Therefore you will be obtaining a one-of-a-kind plant that no one else has. I hope you take good care of it. The seedlings will change as the age and pigmentation will usually intensify over time.
