Continuing with the regeneration pictures here is the next bunch.
L. gesinae v. annae C078
L. julii ssp. fulleri v. brunnea C179
L. bromfieldii var.glaudinae 'Rubroroseus' C393A
These are 2012 seedlings and almost done changing leaves. I itch to water them. They'll double in size then.
L. gracilidelineata
This is one of my 2009 seedlings. A very beautiful plant and already all new, same as its siblings.
L. hookeri v. lutea
It doesn't look like a lutea but okay. It's pretty and healthy and that's the main thing.
L. hookeri
All growing nicely flat, making me proud.
L. hallii (Kalk Kraal)
L. hallii v. ochracea (Ghams)
L. gesinae v. annae C078
One has less regenerating to do than the other. The left plants is one of my very first plants, bought as adult in 2008, making it at least 10 years old. Age doesn't show on lithops. It looks just as young as back then :)
This one is two-headed, bought last year, and the left head grew just slightly long. After ripping it open the new leaves are as short and flat as they should be. Just a small corrective surgery.
L. julii ssp. fulleri v. brunnea C179
This one I also have since 2008 and for the last several years it has settled down to this perfect round and short shape. I'm not good with L. julii but this one is being very patient with me. The new leaves have just started showing. Its neighbor will have to be transplanted as it's almost finished and will need water soon.

The next guys are new since last summer and will hopefully adapt their life cycle to the new windowsill conditions (they are initially greenhouse grown). So far so good. I always have difficulties with white flowering lithops.

L. hallii v. ochracea (Ghams)
According to the Cole's book they protested to De Boer about the choice of lutea as a name as the plant is not yellow. Your plant looks darker than those in their book.
ReplyDeleteReally? I didn't know that, thanks. Maybe it varies? I'll need to check my books (I'm staying at my parents atm) but on pictures online they are sometimes peach colored with fine lines instead of windows. Mine is nothing like that though.
