A miniature only 3 to 4 inches tall in compact rosettes. The leaves are light green with slight speckling of red, red tips that flare outward, and lightly gray banded on the reverse.

A clone of this variable species that we collected near Palmeiras, in the state of Bahia, Brazil. It is a bottle shaped plant with stiff, gray-green, narrow leaves. The inflorescence is a pink spike with clusters of short, cottony branches. It grows in the caatinga habitat of rolling, rocky grasslands and thorn scrub with stony outcrops and is especially tough and sun tolerant. Growing hard, that is in bright light, reduced water and feeding and under-potting will force the plant to take on its best form and color.

An interesting Brazilian form from the collection of Elton Leme, in a species with many forms. A 24 inch tubular plant, green with some mottling and characteristic deep ‘thumbprints’. The showy inflorescence is a yellow head with bright red bracts.

A hardy Australian hybrid named for the gold rush town of Gympie. The plants are upright somewhat tubular rosettes about 20 inches tall, with gray-green leaves and an inflorescence resembling both parents, Ae. gamosepala x caudata, with simple or branching pink spikes and showy yellow flowers. Fairly cold hardy.

This stunner has been one of the most in-demand of RL Frasier’s hot concentrica hybrids. A cultivar of [(carolinae x concentrica) x ('King of Kings' x concentrica)] x johannis, it was named and registered several years ago, but few were ever released. A super plant in every way, wide leaved, huge growing, colorful, and with a great shape. It takes on a deep fuchsia-purple flush in bright light with some whitish and deep purple blotching. The variegation is a broad creamy-white stripe up the center of each leaf.
