Today's Lithops feature

Lithops 'Dintergreen'. These seedlings have been quite variable but a few are nice.

I had to check in my database, these are just coming up to 2 years old so they're on their second set of true leaves. The little one is the runt, the other two are a typical size although most of them are rather brown.

Very nice! I have two adopted 'Dintergreen', and several of the 'Dintergreen' x dorotheae hybrids from seed produced by Francois Hoes. Two of the hybrids are dintergreenish, the others are more like dorotheae, though one has a greenish tinge.
Ever hopeful, trying to grow plants from arid sunny climates in the UK!

Great colour Ian. Reminds me of something but I can't quite think what. Had to look again to find the poor wee runt!

These were actually grown from seed reported as a rather unusual hybrid, but not a single plant shows any trace of one parent so I'm treating them as having been selfed.
