I was browsing on eBay and saw an add for 12 Lithops for £6.50 with free postage. I was so surprised my finger slipped on the mouse and apparently I did a BIN. Anyway, this is what I received. It's a good twelve   |

Some of the plants from the mixed pot I acquired earlier this year. There's some in this lot that are showing a lot of promise.     There are still some still covered in the old dried skin, I'm removing these where possible without causing damage. There's another tray of very small ones. |

It was noticeable that several plants tried to hide from the heat this week. They're definitely lower in the medium.

Fingers crossed my few pots seem ok but they're on a windowsill that doesn't get all day sun, looking at the bcss forum and you are lucky if none shrivel away completely

Now I know you're wondering where I get all these new Lithops from. Well, it's a friend of my wife's that keeps coming to the door and handing them in. They must be friends as she has a nickname for him. She refers to him as the postie man or something like that. Anyway, he called again today and left these. This has no ID ( as yet) but it does have, I think, a quite attractive pattern. I think it looks better in reality than the photo.  This came along with it as a surprise. It is I believe a L. karasmontana.  |

The space I created putting the L. karasmontana ssp bella into a tray didn't last long. Here are the new incumbents.    I'll repost in their species threads when they've settled in. |

Bargain!Received today from T&M via ebay. Total cost £5.99 inc. postage ( have they made a mistake?) 3 x 8.5cm pots of Lithops.     Of course they will require repotting, the medium is all wrong. There are more available Corky.

A job well done, textbook stuff, but an opportunity missed to line up the lines of adhesion, although the top third picture is pretty close!
Cheers

Check the label. I don't think this is supposed to be yellow snow.  |
