S1E4 - The Art of Hybridisation - Gerhard Marx and Alan Rollason

What does it take to create a truly exceptional Haworthia hybrid? In this episode of *Keepers of the Green*, we explore *The Art of Hybridisation* through the eyes of two artists and lifelong students of the genus. South African hybridiser Gerhard Marx shares insights from decades of breeding and selection, while UK grower, collector, and artist Allan Rollasonreflects on how experience changes the way we see these plants. Together, their perspectives reveal the blend of observation, intuition, patience, and creativity that lies behind both great hybrids and great art. Accompanied by illustrations from Gerhard and Allan, this episode examines not just how hybrids are created, but why the pursuit continues to captivate growers around the world.
