Nice going, Harry.

Sweet!

Nice! I had one of those years ago, this makes me want another. Love that glossy smooth greenness!

beautiful!

Very lovely! Why is plump only good when you're talking about succulents? The flower color is very nice, too.

thanks.

On the french site is a whole discussion going on that this one is maybe a G. buenekeri instead of G. horstii. Is there someone who can make a contribution?

Harry

Oh yes I saw this on the BCSS forum. Nice

Hehe, I always puzzled over that with mine as well. Sorry, can't help!

Beautiful, Harry! I have been wanting one of these! I love the shape and how smooth they are aside from their spines.

G. buenekeri is often classified as a subspecies or even variety of G. horstii. The variation within each is probably greater than the differences between them. Also, plants in cultivation have almost certainly hybridized. I doubt there is any way to be certain which one this is. It is a beautiful plant!

Nice! I just got one of these and can't wait to see it bloom. Though I like it just as well when it's not blooming, too!
