Still hoping I've learned how to do lithops correctly doesn't give me a lot of confidence growing mesembs!Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11311361025445420853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573109756175117560.post-24995116180074964232012-08-13T11:30:42.556-04:002012-08-13T11:30:42.556-04:00A fascinating looking plant.

Very nice of you to share the offsets. :)Lithopslandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07590233933252961783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573109756175117560.post-21189538420682335812012-08-10T09:59:09.446-04:002012-08-10T09:59:09.446-04:00Thanks for the information.

I'll see how it progresses and then change the tag if it turns out it isn't tigrina.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11311361025445420853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573109756175117560.post-21119047133214180132012-08-07T06:16:26.103-04:002012-08-07T06:16:26.103-04:00I would personally lean towards F. felina ssp. tub...I would personally lean towards F. felina ssp. tuberculosa or a hybrid thereof as F. tigrina does not to my mind have the tubercules on the leaf surface, but I may be wrong! LOL! They are really rewarding and mine starts flowering late summer right through to early winter - 1 plant continuously! Really nice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11506560236657107272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573109756175117560.post-1877972063393458642012-08-06T21:16:43.715-04:002012-08-06T21:16:43.715-04:00Thanks!

I've also seen many different looking plants that were all labeled F. tigina too, so I'm not sure if it's variability or what?Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11311361025445420853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573109756175117560.post-14416268558582125852012-08-04T01:14:58.341-04:002012-08-04T01:14:58.341-04:00They are nice plants!
