I think it could be the same plant you saw
C and D's Succulents
Heres some more interesting stuff
Another nice color form of Pleiosplos nelii
I like the look of these fat fingers. Argyroderma fissum, Salmon flowered form Mesa 1332.7
Faucaria tuberculosa cultivars and F. felina
2 forms of Faucaria cradockensis
Nice closed flower colors of Chieridopsis rostrata
Close up of the daisy like flowers of Coreopsis gigantea. This species lives in So. Cal. but is rarely seen in pots or in the wild. It has a fat trunk as shown in an above post. This year is the first time its flowered.
Spring is here, as shown by the short seasonal growers
Mitrophyllum grande starting to collapse.
And the remains of the Dorotheanthus pot, dying back, but major fruit production. I put twisty ties around the flowers I liked, and will plant those seeds next fall in a pot of select hybrids, to see what comes of them.

Can those Dorotheanthus be grown in the ground Craig?
A revival of this gallery
Some shots of a part of our very small rock garden, if you saw it for real you would say,"its that it, its so small"
2 species of Cylindrophylum, 1 Glott, 4 Cephalophylums, 1 Braunsia in this area
close up of the Cylindrophylum flowers
Stomatium mustellinum, in the rock garden, done flowering for the year, but creating a nice mound
Vanheerdea divergens

First flowering Lithops of the year, or is it a Lithop?
Lithops steineckeana, this clone looks like an eyeball, most others have some patterns on the top.
Its hard to pack any more Lithops in one photo, but there are about three times as many hiding on the side
We finally got a name for this guy
Adromischus marianae v. hallii

More fun with Lithops like plants
More of the L. steineckeana's with buds
The most Lithops like, Dinteranthus vanzlii, not recommended for people that have trouble with Lithops
Real Lithops;
Lithops gracilidineata, one of my fav's
Lithops comptonii v. weberi
More weberi on left, regular L. comptonii on right
Lithops salicola "Malachite"
Lithops aucampiae "Jackson Jade", was this named after Tim Jackson?
L. pseudotrucatella "Alpina"
Flowers every June/July, and has full pods of seeds, even though it never had a partner
I think these seedlings are from the above alpina, I don't have any other pseudo's that I would have planted.
But they don't really look like alpina yet.
Here is a new Alpina I got last year, different look, but a good partner for my old alpina, even though it doesn't need one apparently

Yes, the original greenie appeared randomly in Tim Jackson's collection.
I'm not entirely sure what L. pseudotruncatella "Alpina" should look like, other than perhaps being slightly small and well patterned. Your last plant is what I would call typical and similar to my own, but I've seen them with a wide range of patterns and colours. Your big plant has a very nice pattern.
Its certainly not impossible for a Lithops to self-pollinate, but they don't generally do it without some assistance. Plus the offspring would be very similar to the single parent, and yours aren't. So I think something else is involved. Any L. pseudotruncatella could provide the pollen, as could L. steineckeana.
One of your L. steineckeana plants already looks half-reverted to L. pseudotruncatella. Usually they don't do this on their own, although you might expect that they should.
Those L. comptonii var weberi have some nice colours. I find var comptonii a little dull, especially the forms without much window.
