Early Lithops?

Post by iann »

This is usually the first Lithops form to flower each year, but seems like maybe a few weeks earlier than normal. Of course it hasn't opened yet!

Nice!

I put mine through the wringer this year, with some scorching, followed by two unplanned inundations and now more blistering heat. Maybe closer to their natural regime, but not advisable in captivity. I’ll see what happens to the flowers after this treatment.

I’m keeping my eye on last year’s early performers (alpina and a dendritica) but nothing so far.

One flower opened today. I missed it. That is definitely early for me.
