Haworthia emelyae var. comptoniana

     From Gerogida, South Africa, Haworthia emelyae var. comptoniana is a solitary rosette up to 5 inches across. The beautifully patterned leaves and large size make for an impressive specimen.
     I got two of these at Home Depot and wasn't sure what they were. They almost look like a cross between H. Retusa and H. venosa spp. tesselata. It has the shiniest leaves of any Haworthia I've seen and both the patterning and colors are beautifull.
