I got a lot of seeds but they don't seem too eager to germinate on their own like A. filamentosa. I'm going to do a proper sowing to have more than one plant. The flowers are worth it :)<br /><br />Really, not idea about the Stomatium. I don't see neither "roseum" nor "rubrum" in it XD. Pretty though! The S. trifarium is not even trying to flower while this little guy is doing it so effortlessly, it seems.<br /><br />The Conophytum had much prettier pattern last year. I wonder if its new home here is somehow affecting it. But it seems otherwise happy and strong and is perfectly following its yearly cycle so far.<br /><br />I gave up Muiria XD It's impossible to get seeds for any more attempts anyway. I feel like it would be possible to grow it if I at least could buy a 1 year old seedling and start from there. But any Muiria plants or seeds are nowhere to find these days.Rikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260657278983088064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-44907728105707730102015-08-28T06:42:57.940+02:002015-08-28T06:42:57.940+02:00Don't know much about Anacampseros vanthelii. ...Don't know much about Anacampseros vanthelii. It's a relatively new discovery, first described in 2006. The flower sure is pretty. Such a vibrant pink. <br /><br />I was always under the impression that Stomatium alboroseum grew in the fall and flowered in the winter. Of course, some mesembs just never read the books and just don't do what they are suppose to do. The flower is nice and white as advertised, but that roseum part of the specific-epithet always puzzles me. However, Steven Hammer said in a talk he gave that the petals turn pink after a few nights, but I've never seen it. <br /><br />The Conophytum pellucidum is very Lithops-like. It certainly looks fat and happy. It won't be long and you will be quite the conophytum expert too. You have such a natural ability to judge what your plants require, even when you are unfamiliar with them. But, don't get a big head about your succulent growing skills yet. Remember, Muiria is still waiting to be tamed. ;) <br /><br /> Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13557615556014224724noreply@blogger.com
