It didn't take long :)

Funny thing, I've discovered two more lithops with flower buds. Quite unusual for this time of the year. Recently we've been having very fall-like weather so maybe, after pretty hot and sunny May and April, the plants think it is already time to flower.

This gesinae is going to flower now for the second time under my watch, and even earlier than the last time (which was in August). Lithops can surprise like that :)

Mr. Shimada's de Boer are again slightly different.

Chocolaty de Boer and nobly pale C300. Dorotheae de Boer are from the Succulent Expo in Tokyo 2010 .

Yasuhiko Shimada's bromfieldii 'White Nymph' The plants look just like C279 but have white flowers. I very much hope to see them in the fall.

Remember the sulphureas ? They've turned out to be quite moody. As briefly mentioned before, we've had summer temperatures and lots and lots of sunlight for several weeks. The sulphureas decided they don't need to deal with this and just went into mid-summer stasis. They're still healthy and firm, no worries there,  but I'd like them to grow, not sleep. Funny thing, I had a couple of weaker sulphureas standing in the corner of the window so that they get less sun and they've grown a lot since then. Now I've moved the rest there as well. Hopefully they will like the new location more.  I find the color difference very curious (check out the same plants from the older post).
