lesliei ssp. burchellii seedlings

These were sown 24.06.2011 and still have their first real leaves on (pictures back in April). They all seem to have different and quite interesting patterns I'm looking forward to see when they're bigger. Some have open windows, some are dotty and some have nice dark window-lines. The burchellii feature of flowing lines around the edges can be visible on some specimens, too.
Amazing how 48 plants out of 50 sown seeds have survived. I like lesliei for this strength :)
You can see on these gloomy pictures how dark it is outside. It's rainy and cold, no sign of summer yet.

  1. Fascinating colours... sort of blue-green grey, with some reddish tints. I haven't seen that before. They look very robust indeed.

    1. Blue seems to be one of your favorite colors on Lithops, too. ;) Now you know what else you can sow to try to get that color :)

  2. 48/50; very impressive!! And they all look great, and big too, for 1 year old Lithops. Very nice Rika! Great photos too, goes with the Lithops. :-)

    1. Thanks a lot! I'm very proud of them ;)
      They're potted according to size. I actually expected them to change leaves more often but... whatever works best for them, no hurry :)
