  2. Ah, Lithops dorotheae are my favorite, too.
    Yours are beautiful!
    Do you know their Cole-Number? I'm still puzzling about the Cole-Number of my home-grown ones.

  3. Hi!
    I have come upon your blog and it's really great. I just started my own fledgling cacti/succulent blog and put a link to your blog. Check it out: succulentgarden.blogspot.com

  4. Hi Rika. I couldn't agree more. Sometimes, during the middle of the Winter I'll get a little "jaded" on them, but it doesn't take long to get over that. Right now we're low on dorotheaes. I guess we'll have to get some seeds and/or some wholesale plants...soon!

  5. Thanks for your comment Petra. Unfortunately these plants don't have a Cole number attached and it's not possible to attach a Cole number on a Lithops plant after the fact. These were grown from nursery collected seed without any connection to the Cole collection. In our catalog we usually refer to the Cole numbered plants as "ex. Cole #xxx), meaning they were grown from seeds which were either collected from specific Cole plants or from plants which can be traced back to Cole plants. But with Cole number or without...they're cool plants aren't they?
