Re: 2 cultivars related to Lithops aucampiae

But as for L. aucampiae ssp. aucampiae v. aucampiae ‘Mangans’ J.B , you haven't heard it definitely, Lindsey? This was selectively bred from Lady Jossie Brandt .. No, I'm not currently a MSG (Mesemb Study Group) member so maybe I missed something. There was a red L.aucampiae form 'Firebrandt' bred ...

Scented? I have S.radicans, in flower now, pleasant scent (cloves-ish) but flowers of some of the other Senecios can smell a bit musty.

Re: Tube or fan survey

From the title I assumed it was a survey of people who are fans of cacti and other succulent plants, maybe something to do with YouTube
