Re: Finally made it
That ............. was worth waiting for
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Re: Finally made it
Excellent! Have you got Lithops flowering in every month of the year yet Ian?

Re: Finally made it
There's a couple of months I'm missing. Might have to seriously abuse them to fill those gaps. Conophytums flowering in every month is a more realistic goal.

Re: Finally made it
Do you know what types they are Ian?
For the purple one in the background of the first pic, would that one need some water? If I saw that by itself I'd be tempted to give it some but the others look pretty full

All my plants are kept indoors and I started collecting in August 2018. Favourites are Pachyphytum, Echeveria, Haworthia, Mesembs and oddball Cacti.

Re: Finally made it
The white flower is L. optica 'Rubra' in a dish with other L. optica plants of various colours. The one with yellow flowers is L. meyeri, most likely (99% certain). It was in the same dish, but I tagged it as an imposter last year and evicted it.
Lots of Lithops are pretty wrinkly at this time of year, some a lot more so than the one in the photo. The wrinkly leaves are going to get a whole lot more wrinkly before they see any water. I find L. optica 'Rubra' difficult enough to get rid of the old leaves, partly because it does tend to get watered late into autumn (or winter!) to support the late flowers.
