Results from my sowing of seeds labelled Lithops dorothea C124.

Plenty of variation!

Have a large balanced collection of both cacti and succulents but enjoy growing cristate, monstrose and generally anything a bit weird!

Fascinating. You could make a collection out of just of this one species.

What an interesting intriguing captivating and enthralling picture.
And the plants aren't bad either.
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.

Lithops is the genus that I'm hopeless at identifying, Dorothea was one of the easier ones with the red bits but if all these are Dorothea then I'm back to square one. When I look at Lithops I see one species with different coloured leaves. The problem with such a well-grown batch of seedlings is working out which ones to keep, there's some superb ones in the photo.

I guess that photo alone illustrates the allure of Lithops!
