I wished someone would want to pay me to do this kind of work. I'd work all night and day :)<br />Ooh I saw your plants! You're too modest!

It's one of the lithops I've considered growing more of, and perhaps cross pollinating several with the best markings to stabilize a colorfully marked form. Of course I would have to grow a fair number, perhaps 20, maybe more, to have a good chance of getting some exceptionally nice plants. Right now, increasing the number of plants I have is probably not a good idea. I'm still amazed at the plant quality you achieve growing lithops in pure pumice on a windowsill. Makes my efforts, with the facilities and supplies I have, seem a bit second rate. Your plant skills are very impressive. But, I'll keep trying. ;-) Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13557615556014224724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-42684044872231948202013-06-14T22:47:00.631+02:002013-06-14T22:47:00.631+02:00I've had similar results this year, Lithops ar...I've had similar results this year, Lithops are so very mysterious!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888328097434089820noreply@blogger.com
