  1. Great collection of lithops flowers Alain. If I remember correctly, I think one of the best single displays of lithops flowers I've ever had was also Lithops dorotheae. If I can find the photo I'll post it on my blog. While they are all nice, I think I like the bold white of L. fulviceps. Those are very nice looking flowers with the tight clumps of yellow stamens against the white petals.

    1. I would like to see your photo. As the dorotheae is only just above ground level the flowers completely covered the plant.
