Re: Grusonii
Size alone is no guarantee of flowering. In this area I know of several very large specimens that have never produced a flower. The further south you go the easier it seems though I did note seeing a picture of one from Matlock being displayed with flowers on. An Exeter grower once told me that his plants never flowered in the home counties but did as soon as he moved to the coast.

Re: Grusonii
I bought back a few plants a couple of years ago Stephen, no problems. One just happened to be a grusonii, also a couple of Aeoniums.
As far as flowering is concerned I agree with Roy, I've got quite a large grusonii which people tell me is flowering size but no sign of anything so far although the plants I have seen in flower are at least twice as big.

Re: Grusonii
Sure, Ant. How many did you want? They sell the little 6" ones in boxes, could probably get about ten in a suitcase. LOL! Now if only they grew Lithops by the million on Tenerife ...
