Lithops pseudotruncatella subsp. volkii

The Lithops have been beginning to flower, among those being these plants (often referred to as the "pallid form" of the species because of the pale surface with less markings - usually). Originally from Namibia, it tends to clump readily, making it very popular with collectors.

Lithops pseudotruncatella ssp. volkii

Another early bloomer, Lithops pseudotruncatella ssp. volkii, which is pale bluish-white  with  few or no dusky dots on the leaf face and very few other markings. The yellow flower is typical of the species.

I finally got our Lithops list updated and now I'm working on the list of cacti. And I hope we'll have some time for some leisure pretty soon...at least a day or two. Have to take advantage of the few actual summer days it appears we're going to get this year... :)
