E. lehmannii in habitat, about 30-40 km north of Uitenhage, eastern Cape. There are lots of white mealy bugs on one of them (Figure 1) (it was just that one that was infected but I was surprised that the bugs were there in the plant habitat).

Figure 2. A very nice specimen of E. lehmannii.

Figure 3. An E. lehmannii where it's just the upper leaves that are blue-gray and the lower leaves are more green.
