Hi; I lost Chick's original post, so I hope he wasn't only asking about
expensive ones. Some of my favorite new purchases were pretty cheap.
Spilt Milk - very pretty variegation and heavy substance
ventricosa Aureomarginata - sooo inexpensive, but it is (IMHO) one of the
most beautiful, with its thick creamy margins and glossy foliage; also
seems pretty slug-resistant
Obsession - so much spiky foliage springing from the crown gives it an
energetic appearance; heavy substance and apparently slug-proof. Also has
a great blackish color that sets off the flowers nicely. Unusual appearance.
Fragrant Bouquet - fast growing and nice bright color
Blessings - ouch! my wallet! But if the color and spiky shape are what
photos represent them to be, I know it will be a favorite when it gets here.
