Lithops lesliei var. lesliei 'Albinica'
I've been seeing a lot of Green lithops on blogs lately, and I just wanted to let everyone know, I've got "Greenies" too. Well, I have two green lithops, but they are both two-headed! These are my two Lithops 'Albinica' plants. Not a real success story as I bought 20 seeds in 2005 and this is all I have to show for it; two "nice" two-headed plants. I'm surprised they are so different, but when you buy loose lithops seed, there is no guarantee they are coming from the same seed capsule. I actually like the variation of one with small windows and one with large windows. Generally, I'm not drawn to the mutations, but I had to have at least one, and now I have two.
Since reading about 'Ventergreen' in Germany and the other 'Albinica' in Florida, I just had to find mine, shine them up, and post their picture in my blog. Aren't they pretty?
So pretty! I love the variation and have experienced the same with my 'Albinicas'. Sometimes it's hard to believe they are the same variety at all. Yours are quite striking. I especially like the one with the small windows. It reminds me of avocado.
