Thanks for the comments folks. :) The leaves are what made me pick it up. Though it is hard to tell from the pic, the darker areas at the end of the leaves are not due to darker pigmentation but rather a lack of chloroplasts. This is one of those plants that has little "windows" at the ends of the leaves to allow light to shine into the leaf as I understand it. Funny you should mention pinching the new spikes off, Jeff, I was actually thinking of doing just that for exactly that reason.

Inna, as you may know, Haworthia are native to South Africa and grow in their rainy season which is our (Northern Hemisphere) winter. During our summer, I give them lots of light and water just to keep them from getting wrinkled; they don't do much during this time other than a flower spike. So your watering habits will depend on where you grow your plants and how much humidity/heat you have; low humidity, high heat will dry more and require more water. Should you have a situation with root rot, try to remove the plant, clean the base and allow it to callus. Then re-plant. So my plants were out on my driveway for the summer and are now in the greenhouse receiving moderate light. This has caused them to become "more green" and they are in their growth phase. The same thing will happen to many of the other succulents I have because the light intensity is less so their color will change, i.e., I have/had a number of Echeveria 'Black Knight' and 'Black Prince' which are a very dark purple almost black during the summer in full sun. Now they are turning green because of less direct sun. They will revert to the dark color next summer. Because this Echeveria, like many others, is so prolific, I usually have a dozen or so rooted offsets that I sell to local nurseries or give away in the fall.

Little beauty Neil, congratulations to parents and to happy uncle! Jeff, danbonsai - you guys are funny and right on...I am sure babies Harmoni and Willem would play nice together. Rina

It probably will do well in that window. It needs to be in very well drained potting mix. You could leave all the 'babies' attached, they typically grow in clumps and look very nice that way. If you want just single specimen, any offshoots could be detached and potted separately. Finished/broken flower stems will not grow back, they finished blooming; but if the plant is happy, it will bloom again - when it feels like it :)
