Lithops dorotheae

I was out in the greenhouse today with my camera at hand and I just had to share this image of Lithops dorotheae in flower. Such an amazing plant.
We've been having some nasty weather over the last few days - heavy rains and gusty winds, but it's calmed down now, and the heavy rains appear to be over. But along with that, the night-time temperatures are dropping down into the low 40s F (about 4.5 C), which means we'll have to start heating the greenhouses.  Enjoy your plants!

It was a little late in the day when Lynn-Marie took these photos...Lapidaria margaretae and Lithops dorotheae.
Our weather is quite dry and warm for this time of year - 80 Fahrenheit for several days in a row, and the nights are in the mid 50s.

Lithops, Lithops, Lithops...

Now we couldn't come back from our trip without more Lithops in hand...some old faithful favorites and some new additions to the group. I never get tired of these little jewels.

This has been a bit of a rough week. First our water heater sprung a leak in our basement and had to be replaced. Not just a mess but a lot of money out the window. Then, yesterday, our DSL line to the computer refused to work and we couldn't get on the internet. Now that's a crisis. But we finally got it rectified and we're back at you.

And while we're on Lithops, here's one of my favorites: Lithops dorotheae. What's not to like?
