Lithops glow 1567

Descrission:

More? Have a look at my Lithops glow set:www.flickr.com/photos/yellowcloud/sets/72157612365799796/Take a flashlight / fiber light source and illuminate a small part of the lithops top window, and the entire transparent plant body lights up!Note the differences in the daylight/glow appearance of the lithops windows!Lithops are extremely succulent plants originating from the semi-deserts of southern Africa. Their plant body rests under ground, while on top they have transparent windows to let sunlight in for photosynthesis. A camouflage pattern on the windows lets them appear more or less like a pair of pebblestones, so hungry animals may hardly find them. I like them because they look like ornamented knobs or gemstones.This one grew in the nursery of Uwe Beyerand I ordered it by mail from his webshop www.conos-paradise.comHis full botanical description: Cole#99Lithops pseudotruncatella ssp. pseudotruncatella v. pseudotruncatella "mundtii", 150km NE of WindhoekDO NOT MISS:www.lithops.info/www.lithops.de/www.lithops.co.za/www.lithop.supanet.com/Be aware that sites from the southern hemispherehave a six-month-shift in the description of theannual lithops growing cycle.
