October Lithops Update

Autumn is definitely a Lithops' time to work, and work hard! Most of mine are either blooming, getting ready to bloom, or setting new leaves. Here are three of my hardest-working Lithops:

Here are some of my New Blues in their new terracotta pot; one is blooming, and one is budding. Beautiful!


Audrey, who had the strangest curly yellow flower, is growing a single pair at the moment. I don't know if that is typical for francisci. They sure are lovely, though, with a special green glow.

And it turns out that Dorothy (dorotheae) is growing two pairs, not one! The other was hiding and waiting for its parent leaf to shrink down a bit. That seems to be happening in earnest now. Neither Dorothy nor Audrey has had more than a drop of water a week for over a month now. And no mistings, either. Seems to be working....

Hope your Lithops are lively and thriving, too. It looks like they are, from what I've seen on the blogs!
