Pic rundown today, most of the hybrids I have produced. I don't have a pic of natalensis x aliciae, and a couple others which will be noted, but the rest of those that are mature or recognizable as hybrids are below.
I made this cross three times, at least twice I know succeeded, originally with different forms of tokaiensis I thought were other species. I may just sell a bunch and combine the rest into one pot

The reverse only succeeded once.

The tropical anglica (which has longer leaves) is flowering, so I may be making new versions of this cross

One of two batches of this cross, again because I thought the tokaiensis was another species
D. tokaiensis x spatulata 'Tamlin' by
hawken.carlton, on Flickr
These ones are a little run down due to flowering, like the tokai parent can be. The reverse appears to have failed, so a remake might be imminent

I didn't take a photo of the reverse of this, aka spatulata "white flower" x tokaiensis, which is slightly larger.

The one seedling I got of this

And the mature typical version

The reverse of this cross isn't picture, but is similar

This is one of my favorite looking of the rosette crosses

My first plants of this cross flowered recently (pic below), and the glandular scapes, split stigmas, and more rounded petals show up in the cross, otherwise the plants look identical to Lantau

Comparison of flowers, Lantau on the left, hybrid to the right

My only plant of this cross as well
D. intermedia Easton, MA x tokaiensis by

The second known successful tokai x Lantau cross

hawken.carlton, on Flickr
These two are in rather low light, but even so are clearly not pure brevifolia

Again, for the same reason as some of the others, I have two versions of this cross, this plant is the one that looks best
D. tokaiensis x intermedia Easton, MA by
hawken.carlton, on Flickr
For some reason, my two largest plants, once they reached a certain size, completely stopped making leaves, as if the growth point just ended. Hopefully a new one will show up on each, but this baffles me.

Got plenty of these

And the original reverse

Got plenty of these too

Though this hybrid takes a lot after the pollen parent, under good light the wider lamina and shorter, hairier petioles are clear

The divergent appearance of the Fraser spatulata makes this hybrid kind of stick out compared to the other spat x tokai crosses

So these guys are not doing too hot, but I think I finally figured out why, so hopefully I can get them to turn around soon.

Lastly, as of right now this cross is my favorite looking of the rosette type crosses
