Thank you for the heads up, Nathaniel. I took a look, interesting color and markings. Shows the strong colors of 'Reinhard'.

You might check with MCG to see if they will be selling them.

Wow, I love the ones with more color. Plus some are so large! This is hard for a plant lover to say no to.
Thanks for posting, I had no idea there was this many types.

Almost every year there are new ones, Teresa.
I have a couple in my collection that reach 11" and 12" for a mature rosette.

Teresa, Here the big box stores sell some of them but generally not the whole collection. Mountain Crest generally has the newest things. They sell nice quality plants too.

I had really wanted a Golden Nugget last year. I got one online about a week ago, and just to give it a friend I got the Gold Mine. They are very different in looks. The Gold Mine has really long petals, and looks mostly red/burgundy. The Gold Nugget is very yellow. I am interested in the "lemon waves" and also there is a silvery one.
Finally, the Gold Nugget!

The Gold Mine is a bit sad looking now, I just planted it.

Hi Katy,
Soon your 'Gold Mine' will perk up and reward your with beautiful colors.
Your 'Gold Nugget' will also start coloring. Thumbs up
