Shot at Leeton. Native warm-season annual or short-lived perennial erect, hairless, tufted C4 grass usually less than 50 cm tall and forming a dense low crown; sometimes short stolons are present. Stems are unbranched and flattened, with a kneelike bend near their base. Flowerheads are digitate, with 6-9 widelyspreading branches, each 4-20 cm long. Spikelets are 2-flowered (sometimes 3), blunt-tipped and black when mature; the upper awn is much longer than the spikelet. Flowers from spring to autumn. Mostly found where ground cover is relatively low, such as along roadsides, in drier native pastures and heavily grazed situations. Native biodiversity. Readily colonises bare ground, areas subject to compaction and shallow soils. Relatively short-lived, it makes rapid growth after warm-season rain and provides a quick green pick; young growth is readily eaten, but becomes fibrous and unpalatable with age; productivity is low. Tolerant of set stocking and close grazing, it is better suited to sheep than cattle due to the low height of its foliage. Favoured by grazing systems that maintain low ground cover. It shows little response to increased fertility.
Esta es una epifita de selvas húmedas tropicales. El nombre del género es en honor a Fréderic Schlumberger (1823-1893) quien poseía una colección famosa de estas plantas.
maybe premature to HOPE but hope I have for 2nd seed pod for me might of took... between h.retusa cv. green giant x unknown truncata hybrid
Description: Agave parryi var. truncata is a small to medium sized plant that offsets and forms clumps to 5 feet or more across. Individual plants vary in size from 2 feet to nearly 4 feet across. This range depends on amount of water applied, with heavily watered plants growing considerably larger. Plants have blue-gray or light gray leaves that are up to 1 foot long by 5 inches across. Leaf margins have dark brown teeth that are usually curved back towards the base of the plant. The terminal spine is about 1 inch long, dark brown and very stout. Tall, branched flower stalks grow to 15 feet to 20 feet high. Flowers are pink or red in bud, opening to golden yellow. The flowering plant will die after blooming, however the offsets will continue to grow.

This plant was a gift from JRA (2016-03), as (synonym) Haworthia ikra. Collected in Bolo Nature Reserve, RSA. Plant ID: ISI 1762. Now dead.
In World Ckecklist of Selected Plant Families (Kew), Haworthia ikra Breuer, Gen. Haworthia 1: 7 (2010) is considered a synonym of Haworthia cooperi var. truncata (H.Jacobsen) M.B.Bayer, Haworthia Revisited: 55 (1999).
Native, warm-season annual or short-lived perennial, erect, hairless, tufted C4 grass usually less than 50 cm tall and forming a dense low crown; sometimes short stolons are present. Stems are unbranched and flattened with a knee-like bend near their base. Flowerheads are digitate, usually with 6-9 branches 4-20 cm long. Mostly found along roadsides and in native pastures where groundcover and fertility are relatively low; rarely abundant. Readily colonises bare ground and areas subject to compaction or shallow soils. Native biodiversity. Of little significance for grazing, it has low to moderate quality and low productivity. Tolerant of set stocking and close grazing, it is better suited to sheep than cattle due to the low height of its foliage. Favoured by grazing systems that maintain low groundcover. It has little response to fertiliser inputs.

A large bush of Telopea truncata 'St Mary's Sunrise' flowering at the Tasmanian Collection at the Tasmanian Arboreteum at Eugenana.
Tried to capture the way light hits it and makes it sparkle like water. Think it shows up better in the next image. Gave my truncatas a bit of sun to see what their tans look like.. my maughanii has a nice red streak up its side also did an experiment with cleaning them up that seems to of worked...
