hookeri pancakes

A month ago, when I came back from Japan, I was posting about some lithops that have grown too much becoming 'cucumber'-shaped, but there were also 'pancakes': plants growing flat and near to the ground showing the shape I value the most. This case is a bit extreme - the hookeri was trying to hide from the sun in the pumice. Now that the heat is long gone it is round and fat but still shaped perfectly.
