I guess it wasn't warm enough for it to fully open.

That's a nice looking bunch of lithops you got there i like the color and the freckles, very cute!
The tw. Surviving lithops that were donated to the program have literally split their skins 3/4 times already in about a month or two its crazy they must have been really backed up growing wise,I've never seen one do that!!

Thats a nice looking turbinicarpus andersonii.
And as the walls come down and as I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade recalling all of the times
I have died and will die.
It's all right.

Hi everybody,

I've been real busy lately so post anything. I finally had the time to take some pictures and post something. But anyhow my T.andersonii has put out about 4 more flower buds and one of them reached full bloom!

Hello all,

After a year of waiting, my Epithelantha micromeris flowered :D . I know my micromeris was flowering size when I got it from C and D plants in February 2014, because it had a fruit on it when it came. Enjoy!
