@jeatacake Jeff as promised the flower is open. It being a sunny day has really helped. #succulent #succulentflowers

Thanks Lydia. It's beautiful 🤍 A bit like a sea anemone. The petals look like silk 👍

Getting excited for the flower to open. No idea why the old leafs haven't died back. #succulentsunday

It takes months for old leaves to dry up. I have one of this variey and the old leaves have stuck around for over a year. Maybe karasmontanas are just stubborn. #lithopskarasmontana

That could well be it @sushiwaitress the other are all fine and the old leafs have dried up. Its good to know that it just happens some times. This the only one thats flowering.

Thanks @sushiwaitress I'm hoping the rest will also flower and my living rock. My blue bird has a second flower bud on it and my blue mist has 2 flower buds on it. I'm hoping for a good show from them.

Yeah @lydiastirling and @anges they last about a week or two. If those are two different plants (vs one 2-headed plant) you could try pollinating.
