Re: trying again


I'm not good at describing plants but the two I have are not alike.  The
transvaalensis has very stiff, hard leaves with a bluish cast and red edge.
Parva has thickened leaves that are similar in shape but pliable, not hard,
no red edge and have a rolled point on the end.  They do have a lot in
common in growth patterns, though.
