Lithops optica var. rubra

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't been posting much lately; it's been a little hectic. These are some seedlings of Lithops optica 'Rubra' that are beginning to  look really nice.
Our granddaughter from California will be visiting over Thanksgiving and I'm giving a talk on growing succulents to a Garden Club tomorrow. In addition to that, of course, we decided to open the nursery for orders until December 6 and we've been fairly swamped.
Finally, our weather is finally turning cold with our first hard freeze expected this week. Now any money we earn from the nursery sales goes "slurp" to the heating oil man.

Lithops optica ssp. rubra

This is our latest batch of Lithops optica ssp. rubra (or var. or cv. or 'rubra' depending on the author) and they're enjoying our late season hot spell. We've had a love for these little pebbles for a long time. 

But the warm spell is over. Our daytime temps have dropped into the 60s F and nighttime temps down into the 40s F. Quite a change.

Enjoy your plants!
