Thanks, Rogan. (Hope you do get seed off your plants!) Anyone in UK tried growing this sp under lights in winter, would it help them to flower, I wonder?

Rogan,
I didn't notice the Sprinbok. offsetting although I saw the smaller heads thinking they were seedlings !!! I don't think it is normal for to offset I have only ever heard of one plant doing this before & not sure if the plant is still alive.
Lindsey you have me thinking now I believe they are spring (Northern Hemisphere anyway) but as you say my plant indicates otherwise, it is also possible that it flowers twice !!
There is a useful table in Scott's book of flowering times if you don't have it PM me & I will scan it in when I get home later.

The only one I have seen offsetting was a rescue job I picked up somewhere that produced loads of small offsets but died (exhaustion??) before I could get it to root.

As to flowering can't remember specifically for springboks but I can say that many types do seem flower twice (in the UK at least) and I usually have Haworthias of some description in flower from Feb until about November.

My remaining springbokvlakensis grew a deformity that turned out to be an offset, but it detached when I repotted the plant, and withered away.
