That S. 'Golden Red Jubilee' x alabamensis has some incredible veinage! I see some good hybrid potential ;). Good to see the Eddie is thriving as well.
 
Agree, love the 'Golden Red Jubilee' x alabamensis! All your plants are awesome and I especially like that "Mass O' Traps" pic and the 'Mass O' Cobras' pot.
 
Thanks! The zen terrarium was a huge success with my sculpture class, so I'll be making more of those.
What can I say? I like big clumps and I cannot lie.
