Pictures were actually taken about a month ago, right after a rain storm drenched the whole collection out here in Northern California (failure on my part to check the weather forecast). I'm happy to say that there were no casualties other than two L. coleorum seedlings (I went through a whole 'emergency drill' to try and dry out especially the Lithops before they'd start rotting), but everything is looking very pumped now There should be plenty of sun to help shrivel the old leaf pairs up again. In some flowering Lithops (marmorata, olivacea, dorotheae) the side of the leaves split down to soil level (the pedicel acting as a wrench) and next year's baby leaves are visible.
Lithops otzeniana (ex SH, looks like SH531 but came without field number)
2-year-old Massonia echinata seedlings (the one with the flower looked suspiciously like a Whiteheadia at this stage, but the flowers themselves were typical echinata)
First flowers on Lachenalia viridiflora (3 years old)
Lithops gesinae C406
