Lithops bromfieldii flower

It's that time of year again, time for many of the mesembs to be flowering. First off, one of the nice yellow flower of L. bromfieldii. A wonderful surprise during these shortening Autumn days.

More Lithops flowers

Lynn-Marie was checking on the lithops today and couldn't resist some more flower pictures. So, naturally, we share them with you!

Lithops lesliei var. venteri

Our lithops are going through flowering conniption fits right now. (OK, not really conniption fits, which refers to "a fit of anger or panic expressed loudly." No anger here. Just a lot of bodacious flowers!) We must have 20 or more flowers at a time. This one is Lithops lesliei var. venteri in the early stages of opening up wide.

One factor is that all of our lithops are now under lights for the winter, and they love it.

Lithops helmuthii

Finally, I'm back...with more Lithops. This time it's Lithops helmuthii which is flowering. And what flowers! These photos don't do them justice. They literally shimmer in the sun light. Note the distinctive white centers to the flowers.

 

Lithops flowers

It was white flower day with the Lithops today. Both Lithops lesliei 'Albinica' and Lithops karasmontana were doing their thing.
