Two Gasterias for ID Please.

Post by Tiggy »

Had these two for three years but have not found a positive ID as yet. Found several "maybe's" but would like another opinion from anyone who maybe has more knowledge of this genere.

Neither have ever flowered but seem healthy in all other respects. The second one is much smaller though continues to produce off-shoots.
Thanks in anticipation.

Thank you for your reply AgavaSK. That is one of which I was thinking also,(along with a couple more) but it is hard to find a "perfect match" and I think looking through loads of plants trying to find one that fits perfectly is asking a bit much with certain , as it depends also on when the photos were taken, climate and conditions that are also kept in. You have confirmed my thoughts and eliminated my doubts. Thank you again.
As for no.1, I was thinking G. bicolor (maybe var. bicolor?)
