Thank you!;) The plants are:
1. L. williamsii f. caespitosa
2. L. williamsii (seed from G. Koehres, sown as v. pentagona) the plant is about 20 years old. I post a pic below how it looked like in 2006, when I bought it from it's previous owner (it was a victim of spider mites then).
3. L. jourdaniana (a cultivation hybrid, described as a native plant by Habermann)
4. L. koehresi (seed collected by Paolo Panarotto)
5. L. williamsii (old specimen, the general 8 ribs are just splitting into 10)
I use my own soil mixture, (it imitates habitat soil). If someone is interested, I tell you more about it gladly... but I think it fits rather to the 'cultivation' topic ;)
