Haworthia PP576 hybrid series #23
Description: PP557 hybrid series was a complex cross between my selections from my PP252 and PP355 hybrid series. The cross is: (Scarlet Begonias F2 X Purple Haze) x (White Swan x pp90) Prickly Pete breeding program: I have been hybridizing Haworthia for close to 25 years. Most of my hybrids are multi-generational complex hybrids created from carefully selected parental stock. I breed to intensify and combine leaf and window coloration, leaf texture and leaf shape traits. Leaf coloration is influenced by the interaction of the pigmentation of the leaf and the coloration and the windows. The windows can be clear or can have spots which vary in size. In hybrids the spotting often turns the entire window opaque. I strive for obtaining reds, pink, purple, orange, phosphorescent green and iridescent blue. Leaf texture can be smooth or bumpy or bristly. In some of my hybrids I get red colored spines and bumps. Haworthia can have many variations in leaf shape. I use plants like truncata
