Hi Iann,
Well snap because my LITHOPS PSEUDOTRUNCATELLA v.VOLKII C69 has just flowered as well, very early I think. I don't usually see Lithop flowers till much later.
Can I ask a noob question please, how are L pseudotruncatella grown from this point on? Since they flowered, are they kept dry from now until they replace their leaves next spring, or will they receive some water this autumn?
Varied collection, mix of regular and hardy cacti, stapeliads and mesembs, along with other South African succulents. Particular interest in stapeliads these days

I'll water mine again this year, although not as late as most other Lithops.
My first Lithops of the year. I have this as Lithops werneri.
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.
The L. pseudotruncatellas are going along steadily. One of these years, all the heads will flower together on this one.
The later subspecies are also starting, like ssp groendrayensis and this "Pulmonuncula".
This is the first flower on a different species (if you don't count L. steineckeana which tends to flower with L. pseudotruncatella), L. gracilidelineata ssp brandbergensis "Vertigo".

And Frithia pulchra, if anything flowering a bit late.
