Name and Characters: Athena雅典娜 Correcta克里克特 Longevity寿
Although I’ve been especially drawn to variegated haworthias lately, there are still a few non-variegated varieties that always catch my eye. One of them is Haworthia Athena, believed to be a correcta hybrid.
It features the classic large, triangular windows and a flat leaf surface. Under sun stress, the whole plant takes on a soft pink blush. What makes it particularly captivating is how the windows develop a porcelain-like look, created by a glossy pink layer overlaying a deeper green core. The simple pinkish-white veins further enhance its beauty, standing out gracefully against the leaf surface.
In China, Athena is known as one of the “Four Goddess Correcta” (Athena, Heavenly Pond, Ice Soul Queen, and Moonlight Goddess). If you’re interested in Athena, it’s definitely worth exploring the others as well!
