A really stunning Pleiospilos, Ian! (tu)

But..ahem...the Royal red (flush) of Brian is rather making me speechless! :eek: THAT is a colour!!!! Both, body and flower! Congrats to having such a beauty!

Is Pleiospilos nelii cv Royal Flush different from Pleiospilos nelii cv Rubra, by the way?

There is no P. nelii 'Rubra', only P. nelii 'Royal Flush'. There's a Lithops optica 'Rubra', but it looks a little different. Could be flowering soon though!

They have also been sold recently as Pleiospilos nelii x Lithops optica rubra! :shock:

Now that would be an interesting hybrid....

Not so interested if it is name 1 or name 2, just as long as I know they are the same. Thanks, Iann. Was thinking there might be some hidden difference between the two.
