Re: Not your average Lithops flower
L. ruschiorum is best not grown for its flowers. This "Nelii" is well short of average

The flowers on this L. verruculosa look like they'd be more at home on an Aloinopsis. On the plus side, they have a strong scent. On the minus side, it is more sweaty socks than Chanel.

Nice pink flower, even the anthers are pink
Here are some verruculosa seedlings with flower colors between fresh-minted pink and more mature straw yellow.
First white flowers of the year! Well, after a fashion.
The regular variety, showing a range of flowers between 1 and 4 days old.
L. gesinae flowers getting really long in the tooth, about a week old now.
