Not the first, but one of the nicest at this time of year. L. pseudotruncatella, labelled as var elisabethiae but not especially distinctive.

So its time for Lithops flowers!

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: Days are getting shorter
Lovely Ian. They are very early. I've got some three year old volkii seedlings that are showing no sign of buds, so I guess they're too young.

Re: Days are getting shorter
I don't normally think of ssp volkii as being an early one, but they all are this year, even the smaller ones. I have two "alpina" plants that are consistently in bud before the end of June, sometimes flowering.

Re: Days are getting shorter
Correction: that's not L. gracilidelineata var waldroniae, not L. gracilidelineata at all. Just another pesky L. pseudotruncatella that got in the wrong section of staging. It is actually ssp archerae, look.
