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.
Regards
Mel.

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?

I'll water mine again this year, although not as late as most other Lithops.

That does seem a bit early. I have more than one L. ruschiorum with buds though.

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 I just spotted this upstart seedling.

Or a *real* L. gracilidelineata, tiny flower and all. This is var waldroniae.
