Re: Grahamia palmeri

If I got the picture right, it started growing at one (right) pot, then leaned over and continued in another? If so, I'm 99.99% sure that part at flowering pot has roots. If its vice - versa.. I have no clue :) You are partially right. It started growing in the pot at the right. I don't think it is...

Thanks... but the job isn't done, yet. I don't know if it will root so I can separate them. And not sure how long to leave it either. I will wait till spring at least.

I finally have a definite answer. It smells like Oleander. Specificaly Pink Oleander. Our Oleander opened up yesterday and right away the light bulb came on. :grin:

Re: Lithops flowers 2018

Still few flowers here. Today max 39ºC :???: I had max. temp of 45ºC yesterday but expecting low of 7ºC tonight. I'm kind of nervous but not so much for the Lithops, though. Any chance you could post the IDs? I like the second green one. I am finding it is much more difficult to identify Lithops. E...

Should be open soon? :razz: By my calculations,most of my Lithops take from 3 to 7 days from bud to flower.
I do like the variations in flower colour of the veruculosa.

Re: Damaged obesa

Thank-you Brian, it does help. I was planning on using a soil and grit mix but I will leave out the soil. I do have a third offset coming as well so I may have more than I bargain for.

Re: Lithops flowers 2018

Here is my Lithops verruculosa v. glabra side by side with its pink cousin 'Rose of Texas'. IMG_0640.JPG Very interesting! Mine do have a bit more of a copper than shown in my picture. I do like a variety of flower colours. I love your 'Rose of Texas'. I will get seeds and grow them. (Mental note!)
