No smell, and I was hoping for full on stink hehe, I have grown some from seeds I bought, I shall have to add some pics of the seedlings and hopefully their progression, I am keen to see what variation I get in the blooms, if I don't kill them of course

 these seedlings were sown on 30/05/2015 ,  I had a very good germination rate. The seeds are from silverhill seeds in Africa |

Time for an update on the seedlings I reckon, the survivors are doing well enough for me  and for scale my tiny hand;-)  |

My original plant is in bloom again , don't think I'll ever get bored of it. It had a few flower buds forming but alas only one actually produced a flower, I have a feeling I shouldn't water when flowers are forming, any thoughts on this would be appreciated  |

Time for an update, my seed grown plants are six years old now ,I have six survivors and two of them have offshoots so in the pic it looks like eight, never bloomed and had a couple of years with seemingly no growth  the largest plant shown in the pic earlier in the thread didn't make it, I am not perturbed and have just sown more seeds of H.zebrina subsp zebrina  pretty large seeds compared to the lithops I've sown recently |

We have germination  eight out of ten so far, I've done some number crunching and came up with 80% |
