How Many ‘Zorros’ Do You See?

 

What’s Next

Dearest Lithops Lovers!  Now that the Dorotheae are well on their way, what would you like to see next?  Let’s take a vote (comment below)…

(1)  L. Schwantesii, or…

(2)  L. Terricolor

I have quite a few seeds (and varieties) of each so let me know your preference.  I’ll announce the winning sub-species on September 1st.

I’m also going to start a pot of ‘Green Soapstone’ and ‘Rubra’.  I don’t have many seeds of these varieties so I’m not going to get too excited about them yet (still thinking about my failed attempt at growing ‘Peppermint Creme’.

 

 

So. Many. Lithops.

7 Months old.  Various Dorotheae plants.  I love them all ❤

 

L.Dorotheae – 6 Months

Wow!  I didn’t realize how much our little seedlings have grown over the past two months!  We have some beauties!

 

4 Months

Update!

Many, if not most, of the Dorotheae seedlings we are following have substantially shed their baby leaves.  There are a few stunning examples of Dorotheae in the mix including at least one well marked ‘Zorro’.

What do you think of them?

Of course, I need to ‘thin the herd’ so to speak, but its a challenge deciding who should be culled and who should be allowed to develop further.  I’m always worried that the one I cull, will be the crème de la crème.  I think I will let them develop a bit more and decide once I am sure what all their patterns will be.  I’m happy with the mix so far.
