We once sowed some Lithops lesliei seeds and found that about a third of the seedlings had 3 leaves. We did a 2nd sowing from the same seed capsule and got a similar percentage, plus some 4 leaved ones too that time. The rest of the seeds were sent in to the forum seed pool.

We've got quite a few of these Delosperma cultivars. This is our 'Sunstone' plant, with one flower of 'Garnet' (the red flower on the left). delosperma 096.jpg These two are from the Jewel Of The Desert range, but we've also got plants from the Suntropic, Sundella and Wheels Of Wonder ranges and eac...

It is the first time we attended a National Show and we had a fabulous time. The show was amazing and the atmosphere in the hall was fantastic.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to reply.

Hi Derek

Best wishes
