It would get a warm welcome from my Lithops, Chris.

Bought a couple of those when the Kings Lynn show was held there. A very well known author of a copiapoa book, who was there, identified it as possibly humilis but his bet because of the spination was mollicula, he said the flowers were slightly different. My brain seems to be mush these days as far...

Nice one Robert
Have a couple of buds on mine that should open soon and some other stapeliads in bud including one on a caralluma hesperidum which will be a first for me, fingers crossed.

Welcome to the slippery slope Chris.

Nice plants Diane, I do like astros and well done on the hybrids. I have some germinating now from my own plants and cant wait to see what they turn out like.

And a closeup.

Nice one Steve.

This is the first flower from my S.variegata, it overwintered in the greenhouse and gets full sun, through bubblewrap, for most of the day.

Reminds me of some food I had as a child but cant put my finger on it.

Thanks Jeff and Benjy, you both have great looking plants. My one felt a bit soft when I checked it the other day, I treat it like a lithops for water so hopefully it has not got rot.
