This Lithops may be fooling me, it tends to hide extra heads away in the folds of the old leaves, but it definitely likes three leaves.

Ever hopeful, trying to grow plants from arid sunny climates in the UK!

Don't happen to live near a nuclear power station, Ian? We have an electricity sub-station behind our greenhouses, and I blame any freaky behaviour on that!

Ian: suggested plan of action:

1. Ebay. "RARE! NEVER BEFORE SEEN ON EBAY!"
2. Retire.
3. Ferrari.
Happy carrier of Forby Disorder - an obsession with Euphorbia obesa.

NB. Anyone failing to provide a sensible name for me to address them will be called, or referred to, as Fred.
