Left to right:
Pleiospilos nelii – showing a new pair of leaves developing in the fissure. The oldest pair of leaves on the plant are now shrivelling up and being consumed by the plant.
Lithops salicola – showing really good colouring on the new leaves; it looks like this plant is going to divide this year. I’m pretty sure there are two heads about to emerge.
Blossfeldia liliputana ‘Subterranea’ – unfortunately the weather was too dark and gloomy for this flower to open, but with better light it should do so.
Sulcorebutia rauschii – a plant showing discolouration of the epidermis caused by an attack of red spider mite last year. Notice the two flower buds cunningly masquerading as new offsets…
One Comment so far...

Your blog is very, very nice, Stuart.
Like your subterranea, my alba was failed to full opening. But the light was good !..
