Some pics of my plants from back in June when I was playing around with my camera 🌵💚

Lithops salicola (maculate form)

Lithops is a large genus in the Ice Plant Family (Aizoaceae), all native to southern Africa. These plants are often called “living stones”, and indeed they do blend right in with the pebbles in the places where they grow. But they put on an eye-popping show when they burst into bloom, as seen here with the maculate (speckled) form of Lithops salicola, which comes from near Hopetown in South Africa’s Northern Cape Province. This is very near to the center of the country.

My older devils tongue cactus’s flower is starting to open!!

Working on a new watercolor painting of this wonderful Echeveria ‘Dondo’. It has three rosettes and tons of flowers, and I really love the combination of colors!
