The flower first showed, closed, several days ago and with such dull weather conditions I began to wonder whether it would ever open. Then on Friday we had a glorious Sunny afternoon and, like the others, it opened after being in Sunlight for a few hours and soon after the Sun had moved past.
To give an idea of size, they are all in 2 inch (50mm) pots.
I imagined them to be much larger. Where do they originate from? Apart from the garden centre.
ReplyDeleteThats amazing John. I have never seen anything like that.
ReplyDeleteRoy: I do like something a bit different from time to time.
Delete"Living pebbles" - good one! They are fascinating, even if small.
ReplyDeleteWilma: Small means I can have a collection in a small space ;)
DeleteYou really enjoy lithops dont you John. They ae such strange plants, but I do like to read about peoples' interests. I must say that I have never seen one - do you have to go to a specialist to buy one>
ReplyDeleteWeaver: I think I have seen them in the occasional large garden centre. More often found at cactus specialists. I bought mine on eBay from people who seem to specialise in them.
