Lithops group Jan09 to June09

Descrission:

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.DO 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.
