    I picked up three new plants today (succulents are pretty addicting), and I just wanted to make sure I have a positive identification on them. I got one Gasteria and two Haworthias... The former was labled as Gasteria liliputana (Gasteria bicolor var. liliputana), and I think this is correct. The Haworthias are both the same type and were labled as Haworthia turgida, but I think they are actually some variety of Haworthia cymbiformis, though they look much different than the Cymbiformis I bought a couple months ago. All of the plants have numerous pups and one of the Haworthias is blooming. At the nursery they were severely dehydrated (they probably thought that succulent = never water), but they've perked up a bit since I brought them home, repotted them, and watered them.

    Here are some pictures:

    The two Haworthia look like H. cuspidata. Yes, an addicting hobby...but a good one! :)
