Now Ruth.. I am going to ask a really dumb question but.... Is that good?

Of course Conophytum are good! They're lovely little fat leaf-shedding mesembs. They come from South Africa like lithops do, but some varieties have different shapes and also tend to form clumps and mounds. Cono's are active in the winter and they dry up and go dormant in the summer.

I don't grow any cono's though. I'm insane about lithops and lithops alone.

And they don't mind if I call them Cono's. What a hoot. Thank you so much Ruth. What a well mannered plant. I think Como's and I are going to get on famously. 😀 BTW Sushi is one of my all time fave dine-outs. Cheers. @cyndi - thanks for your help also. Cheers 😊
