I believe the Mesemb Study Group (MSG) still provides an annual seed list for members. You could consider joining them. I was a member a couple of years ago and bought quite a lot of different species of Lithops seeds, most of which gave excellent germination.

Where have you been looking? It is one very easy to find many resputed seed sellers selling Lithops. They could be sold out, true, but they offer it at least. You just need to be ordering at the right time. Don't wait too long before the seed list is updated. Check the 'Updated seed list' thread on this forum to be notified when a seed list has been updated. They usually are being updated between now and January.

Lithops Martin......Lithops. Just one is a Lithops. It's from Ancient Greek meaning stone face and the generic name so no such thing as a Lithop.

This place get lots of good reviews on Facebook; https://www.ozlithops.com/ (tu)

Thanks again.

Oz Lithops are good and they have provided Lithops seeds for the MSG distribution in the last few years. Sadly, nobody has yet volunteered to take over the MSG seed distribution yet, so don't rely on that as a source.

Make friends with people that grow Lithops. They produce seed readily and in large quantities, most of which is surplus to requirements.
