Do you like big Lithops or little Lithops?

L. hookeri with L. divergens.

Even little Lithops vary. There is a "large coastal form" of L. divergens which is a lot bigger than other populations but otherwise very similar.

L. amicorum is described as one of the smallest species but it bloats up pretty good in cultivation

Some more small Lithops

My coleorum colony, 4-year-old seedlings. These are (ex-)SH1500, it'll be interesting to compare them to my younger C396 plants. Some very small heads, about one centimeter across.

L. werneri seedlings, better late than never. I had already given up on seeing any flowers on them this year.

L. werneri is funny. I had flowers in early August and flowers in October this year. Not always on different plants!

BOTH

Must admit I love both types though they ones that stand tall are actually my favourite ( for example rubra optics)

It takes all sorts Personally I like the flat ones, but some of the tall ones are interesting too. Big or small is good!

Any Lithops that keeps living, don't care what size or shape. Bizarre colors and/or patterns are a plus.
