Orthophytum 'Ivory Tower'

Derek Butcher "Keith Bradtberg here in South Australia got seed from the BSI seed bank in October 1992 called Orthophytum gurkenii 'Gold Dust'. We can find no information about this name. The seed was sown and ONE plant survived! It was not a typical Orthophytum gurkenii so clearly it's father was someone different! We decided to call our plant 'Ivory Tower'. Who else grew seed from this same seed batch? Is theirs as good as ours?
Comments please. "
