Neohenricia sibbetii 2014

One of the cuttings of my Neohenricia sibbetii has already started the flowering season. I had to stay late just to take the pictures - the flowers opened fully around 23:00!

Neohenricia's tiny flowers coming up

Image
Only several sunny days and it's mostly cold and dark again. Good thing Neohenricia sibbettii doesn't need sunlight to open its flowers. I've counted 5 flower buds so far, most of them growing out of the parts that went "overboard". I'll be checking on them at night. The pot is definitely too small. If I had more room I'd put the plant in a large but shallow container and let it grow in all directions. A large Neohenricia carpet must look really pretty.

I'll continue the introductions :) The new guys are the lovely L. dinteri C206 from Cono's Paradise nursery (german), L. lesliei v. hornii C015 from Rare Plants nursery (czech) and some surprisingly well-grown L. schwantesii from a local hardware store.

Rabiea and Frithia seedlings (2 pics)

Time to update you on some of the seedlings. Rabiea albipuncta are now 6 months old and look much more mature than only 2 months ago . Glad to see that a couple of them still show the distinct red leaf tips. They are currently having seven-month-old Frithia pulchra kids as neighbors. It is supposed to be a red (or redder) flowering variety but since Frithias never flower for me it's only theoretically different from the other Frithia pulchra plants I own. PS: I really need to take some lithops pictures. I can't seem to be able to take any good ones lately...
