There are flowers/buds all over the place on these bosseranum seedlings. I must be doing something right.

The D. lehmanii plants are doing well. Even the two leaved cutting has formed two new leaves. One of the larger plants. Now known as Corpuscularia lehmannii When I say larger, that's still a 2" pot

The D. echinatum occasionally receives a glancing blow from its spacial awareness deteriorating minder. If this results in a couple of leaves and a small portion of stem knocked off then I simply stick the "cutting" into a handy pot I keep close by. They root quite easily I find. They even flower at a very small size.

I re-potted the best of the plants from the two quarter trays into 5½" half pots. Even at this young age the roots started to fatten. They should make nice little caudiciform plants. PS. I still have a load of individual plants, even after weeding out the less vigorous ones. I've even planted a group in the garden and amazingly they're as yet unattacked by gastropods. No doubt that will alter now that I've said it.

The D. bosseranum are growing nicely in their groups. It looks like they're going to supply a few seed too.

They don't waste any time getting busy.

If anyone wants seed from the bosseranum it'll arrive by the kilo there's that many seedpods. I planted a few of the seedlings outside and they seem to be quite enjoying the experience. It'll be interesting to see how the roots on those thicken up.
