The seed project continued
During summer, I got lazy making crosses with the Haworthia although to be honest, there weren't any flowering simultaneously that I thought would make appealing combinations until these 2 started flowering and I succeeded in getting quite a few seed pods to form.

This combination should produce plants that are either similar to the one on the left but chunkier or the patterns on the windows of the plant on the right could get interesting.

As for the others, the intergeneric cross of Haworthiopsis and Haworthia is sprouting, so the seeds were viable, it will be very interesting to see what results from the crossing of hard-leaved and soft-leaved plants

The older seedlings are showing distinct signs of the plants that they will become:

The seedlings will still take another two years or so to really look like anything. People often wonder why Haworthia hybrids could be so expensive but the fact remains that it takes many years of dedication to produce interesting plants
