When the flowers die off, this will look exactly like Scarborough beach. Lithops lesliei v. venteri C001, grown from seed, plus donkeys. I'm taking this to the Mesemb Show in Manchester tomorrow. #lithops #succulents #mesembs #plantsky

The Lithops have grown massively in my The Sword In The Living Stone bowl garden. Does King Arthur still fit? #lithops #succulents #mesembs #plantsky

The double-headed Lithops still flowering in my living stone garden. Lithops lesliei v. venteri C001, grown from seed. #lithops #succulents #mesembs #gardenshour #plantsky

I was also pleased to see my Sword In The Living Stone bowl garden appear in the British Cactus and Succulent Society journal this month. I'm hoping to take it to the mesemb show in Manchester next month too #lithops #succulents #mesembs #plantsky #GardensHour

Another plant flowering on my little living stone bowl garden now, a double-headed one this time. Lithops lesliei v. venteri C001, grown from seed. #lithops #succulents #mesembs #plantsky #GardensHour

My Titanopsis and ammonites bowl garden now and 2 years ago. Haven't they grown? It hasn't had any flowers yet this autumn but it should start flowering anytime now. #titanopsis #succulents #mesembs #plantsky #fossils

Faucaria paucidens flowering in my mesemb garden. Planted with a Rhinephyllum, Trichodiadema and a Faucaria tuberculosa. #succulents #faucaria #plantsky #GardensHour #mesembs

2 massive yellow flowers open on Faucaria bosscheana albidens today #Faucaria #succulents #mesembs #plantsky

I reckon the Faucaria paucidens in my mesemb garden could flower tomorrow. The ones I had in the coldframe had their flowers nibbled by snails so I hope this one survives. Planted with a Rhinephyllum, Trichodiadema and a Faucaria tuberculosa. #succulents #faucaria #plantsky #GardensHour #mesembs

I was excited to see the first Faucaria flower of the year but something's been nibbling it. Faucaria paucidens, grown from seed. #succulents #faucaria #plantsky #gardensky #mesembs
