My 3-month-old Diplosoma luckhoffii seedlings seem to think that life is short and they may as well make the most of it. They escaped from their seed leaves and now a few look like they're getting ready to flower (one can be seen in the picture, with some Lithops seedlings as a reference for size). I know they're not terribly long-lived so maybe this is not abnormal.
They live in a lightbox with temperatures between 5-10 C at night an 20ish C during daytime (i.e. when the lights are on).

Re: Diplosoma in a hurry
Trying to be an annual I've not had them flower at 3 months old. Not had them live much beyond three years either, but maybe I'm just doing it wrong. All round weird plants.
