Variegated Lithops

Someone recently asked, "What happened to that variegated lithops plant you blogged about some time ago? Well, this is the answer. It's different, but still variegated. It was purchased in 2007 at a small nursery on the way to Barstow from Mojave and it continues to amaze us.
 
No catchy title tonight, though several suggested themselves. But I think I'll stick to descriptive titles and leave the cutesy to others. Nevertheless, I'll certainly check the stats to see if the less descriptive and more exciting titles make a difference...:)

  3. Most of the literature I've read indicates that variegation in lithops tends to be ephemeral, but this one certainly has lasted. As far as a name is concerned, no, it was among a group of unnamed lithops at a tourist oriented desert plant nursery. I've never had one show up in our seedlings, but I'm sure it happens periodically.
