The lithops is also called "living stone" in Denmark.. because.. well, it can resemble a living stone.. haha

Paphy57 September 4th, 2009, 09:51 PM Beautiful plants! I believe that is a Lithops karasmontana variety.

Tom Velardi September 7th, 2009, 04:36 AM Beautiful plants! I believe that is a Lithops karasmontana variety.
Could be Nick, but with the amazing variation even within a species, I feel uncertain about identifying it. I know you grow some - which do you have? Lithops really are cool plants.
Tom S September 9th, 2009, 04:19 PM Very interesting looking plants!
Thanks for sharing!
Tom Velardi October 27th, 2009, 08:34 AM An update on the Lithops; it is in flower now. As Nick suggested, it is likely a variety of L. karasmontana. Currently in flower.

And here are a few other succulents and cacti in my collection.
Another uncertain plant, this one an epiphytic cactus. It looks like an Epiphyllum and the only name on the tag was 'Aroma Gold'. I can't find an Epiphyllum hybrid with that name - anyone care to guess? Also in flower now.

I picked up this little beauty this summer, a miniature Agave, A. potatorum 'Kichijokan'. The rosette is only 15 cm across!

The infamous hallucinogenic peyote cactus, Lophophora williamsii. Easy to grow but so slow!
