What are your favourite Conophytum and Lithops plants?

ize89 - if you were to buy those particular plants at Chinese or Korean prices, the cost would run into many thousands of pounds! Add a couple of 'Makin's Plum' and you might be up to five figures. I am being a bit frivolous but there is a big distortion in the mesemb and adromischus market being created by far eastern demand.

Quite right, I have seen this myself. All the more reason to keep preserving these little heavens within the EU. The far east behaviour in my eyes is not acceptable; their buy everything they can and sell everything at ridiculous prices, is against what I believe.

Quite hard to turn down some of the offers ...

Wow Ali Baba you have quite some collection! Jealous if I might say so myself

Very nice indeed.

I often quote my favourite succulent as Lithops gracilidelineata waldroniae. The fine lines and "brainy" appearance of the heads is a winner for me.
Regarding Conos I favour the ones with red lines down the edge. Cono turrigerum or C. luckhoffii forms are probably best but even some of the "edged" C. bilobum forms are very attractive.

I love the pretty purple one Brian posterd but favourite has to be cono burgeri, sadly lost my two but I did have them for quite a few years, I'm not a good mesemb grower.
