Seeds from a friend, packet just said "fulviceps large dot" Turned out quite nice. A few stray olivacea's emerged as well.
Unbelievably, my Lithops survived the winter and seems to be preparing to bloom. Hopefully before the hot humid weather arrives. I have been using a sprayer to water my succulents - the soil, not the plant trying to duplicate the natural living conditions. Mar. 2019.
Aka known as 'living stones'. Taken in the greenhouse at Swansea Botanic Gardens, Singleton when it came to rain

A nice little pot of lithops I got at the biannual show and sale put on by the Austin Cactus & Succulent Society. I liked the variety of colors and sizes. Check out the tiny ones near the bottom center of the pot!

Lithops are extremely succulent plants originating from the semi-deserts of southern Africa. Their plant body rests under ground, while on top they have transparent windows to let sunlight in for photosynthesis. A camouflage pattern on the windows lets them appear more or less like a pair of pebblestones, so hungry animals may hardly find them.
DO NOT MISS:
Be aware that sites from the southern hemisphere
have a six-month-shift in the description of the
annual lithops growing cycle.
A Japanese succulent web shop:
The Lithops that were sown as seed in April 2013 are now making fine plants. Another re-potting and they are looking well.
The Lithops that I grew from seeds are getting bigger and I potted them up into a larger pot with some stones mulch. I'm not sure if I like the stones or should change it to white.
