This is probably my largest Lithops. L. bromfieldii, old and somewhat senile, it tends to lose its roots and shed a few heads from time to time.

This L. hookeri has probably the largest heads of any of my Lithops, but it is shy about dividing, Finally this spring it went from four to five heads.

I quite like L. divergens. These are fairly typical for the species, small, sandy, and neither colourful nor strongly marked. The flowers are nice though.

The is the "large coastal form", not formally named but a little like a bland var amethystina. Finally after about three years these seedlings are bigger than the standard form.

Another of my pet species, L. viridis. No playmates to pollinate at the moment, but I did some tickling last year.

This L. 'Hammeruby' doesn't look so great today but it has a flower so it got photographed. The bulges suggest too much water a few weeks back, but maybe that is what it needs to flower because it rarely does for me. Now it looks wrinkled as it tends to after being watered.

Another one you don't see every day is L. francisci. This one is flowering, but the one behind shows that it doesn't happen every year. Both are going over from being a little gloated a few weeks ago to looking winter-wrinkly.

L. schwantesii isn't on my list of favourites, but the flowers are sort of interesting.

Just to show I do have some Lithops with white flowers ...
