I forgot L. bromfieldii, always good for strong colours. And more repotting needed.

Mine are catching up. I've started watering a few seedlings and the occasional lesliei or pseudotruncatella that is ahead of the pack.

These aucampiae still have a week or two before their first splash:

'Dark Wine Red' ex Frik Du Plooy can turn a bit more brown in the sun later in Summer. I'm trying to select for open windows, but out of close to 100 seedlings only 2 or 3 have a truly open window without islands. Many start off looking promising the first year or two, but end up with a smattering of freckles anyway.

These are exceptionally neat, with very sharply defined markings (ex C325). They had nice red markings as younger seedlings, but seem to have lost the color as they got older.
