NEW HEADS

THE NEW HEADS ON MY LITHOPS SEEM TO BE COMING THOUGH VERY LATE THIS YEAR


LITHOPS AUCAMPIAE


LITHOPS COLEORUM


LITHOPS DOROTHEAE

COULD THIS BE DUE TO THE WEATHER. MUCH  MORE DAMP THAN NORMAL. IN JANUARY RAIN MORE THAN THREE TIMES AVERAGE, ABOUT THE SAME SUN BUT NO FROSTS.

FIRST SEED SOWING OF 2014

                 
                   I HAVE PURCHASED A PROPAGATION MAT TO USE THIS YEAR.

                                                                                                                                                                                                   


 ONCE THE MAT WAS FLAT. POTS PREPARED FOR THE SEEDS USING MY NORMAL SOIL  MIX





                                   TEN PACKETS OF LITHOPS SEEDS SOWN
