  1. Mine seem to be slow showing their new heads this year. Always nice to see the new season heads.

    1. Yours were flowering a lot and well into the season ;) Surely they can take their time regenerating.

  2. Of course I like them all, but the L. lesliei var venteri are going to be so beautiful. Lithops really are the mesemb gems. Like Alain, my lithops regeneration is a bit behind this year. I did have to move them to a new home in early February. I hope they all come through ok. I am really enjoying your many photos. Thank you.

    1. I feel like this is the most exciting phase in lithops' yearly cycle for a grower. Flowering season does not come close for me. You do forget their "real" colors during fall and winter and then when they appear again it's like a miracle. And the contrast between old and new is just amazing to look at.

      I'm sure they'll be fine. You are an attentive grower and will help them during their transition. Mine had the "move" last year and came out of it even happier :D

      Will post more photos soon~

    1. Yes, those of C001 are my favorite regeneration photos! They look like I imagine them to look like in nature.
