white flowers
Well, I guess I'm lucky. The white julii flowers opened today. So here they are! On this positive note I'm off to Japan :)

buds are showing
Now, if they'll manage to grow and open in 9 days, while I'm still in the country, I'm going to be very lucky. It's been a couple of nice sunny days and according to the weather forecast it's going to stay this way so I'm not losing hope yet. :) This one is a lithops julii (probably fulleri C259 ). Hard to tell yet but I think the other 'head' is about to bloom, too. ... and here's a better picture of that pretty hookeri from before.
next in line
It seems the next one to bloom is a lithops hookeri I had since a couple of years. They just won't do it simultaneously! haha
Aucampiae flower at last
It is amazing everytime how big the lithops flower actually is compared to the plant itself.

These are my youngest lithops "hatched" in April. They didn't get much care from me. I've potted them into pumise stones as they were 3 or 4 weeks old and treated them as grown-ups ever since. I think they've turned out quite well though. It's a mix of C189, C261, C309 and C373. Because of a small accident, I can't tell which is which now. (Maybe when they're big enough?)
