I call this an opportunity

Post by iann »

For some reason, three of these Lithops gracilidelineata ssp brandbergensis seedlings came up green. Now the three green ones look like flowering together.

I guess these would then qualify as cv 'Vertigo' (according to Keith Green's cultivar register)? Any indication whether the flowers will be white or yellow? It looks like the rubrications are still there so they're perhaps not 'complete' albinos.

'Vertigo' normally has rubrications, and normal ssp brandbergensis has very strong rubrications.

Looks like the flowers will be yellow:
