Lithops

Fraggle Funnyface is shedding leaves again. Tiny, but still kicking! 19 Jun 2019 #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops

Grown from seeds!! That’s amazing!!😊💕

@terrimclaughlin they're still tiny though -- it's an extreme close up

Lithops teach us patience .........slowly growing. 😊

😮😍

@kylers you're so right. Definitely character-building.

Now the #ittybitty cluster of three #seedlings are starting to split 11 Mar 2019 #lithops #seedling #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops

Fraggle Funnyface is back to being red again, but I think it's just sun stress. #lithops #livingstones #succulents 23 Dec 2018 #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops

Fraggle Funnyface has pinked up again in the sunlight. #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops

Fraggle Funnyface's neighbor reminds me of Elvis with his crooked #muppetmouth 🎶 You ain't nothin' but a 🐶🎵😭 all the ⏰ #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops 28 Sept 2018

Fraggle Funnyface center, with his murmuring #muppetmouth neighbor #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops 22 Sep 2018

I repotted Fraggle Funnyface and peeled off the papery leaf tissue that remained. He's still a lot smaller than the other #lithops #seedlings his age, but his two buggy eyes seem to be growing slowly and steadily. #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops 21 Sep 2018

I dialed up the exposure so the camera could see how the dried-out skin of the old leaves has split by the pressure of the new leaves expanding. #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops

@erino scroll left to see the progression of Fraggle Funnyface.

Wow that's pretty cool

Fraggle Funnyface from another point of view. Looks like the red color was just sunburn. It's ok Funnyface, I still love you!!! #lithops #seedling #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops

Hee hee, Fraggle Funnyface's cheeks are all puffed out, like a kid trying to see how many grapes he can get in his mouth at once. #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops 22 July 2018

Fraggle Funnyface's nose/mouth are shriveling up as the new plant grows. #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops 16 July 2018

Fraggle Funnyface has gone bald, but his eyes got a lot bigger. #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops

Fraggle Funnyface's nose has gotten shorter and fatter and the redness has faded a bit. He's more green toward the base than he used to be. Outer leaves near mouth are starting to look a little translucent. Cheeks are chubbier. 😊 #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops #upclose #closeup #cutiepatootie #smallisbeautiful #muppetface

Fraggle Funnyface is still laughing. He's a crazy cluster. #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops

Fraggle Funnyface is showing his green tongue. Pretty soon he's going to finish shedding these outer leaves and become a tiny cluster of mini's. I'll miss his crazy face, but I like the #cutiepatooties that are growing in. #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops

Lovely colors. ❤

Fraggle Funnyface has his cheeks stuffed full of new baby leaves. Gettin' kinda pudgy-lookin' #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops #closeup #upclose #smallisbeautiful

I assumed that when Fraggle Funnyface's eyes appeared that those eyes were the new baby leaves that had decided to take the escape hatch instead of exiting out through the main gate like other plants. After all, #escapeartists aren't rare in the #lithops pot. I expected the red nose and mouth to shrivel and shrink away since the babies went out the back, but that's not actually what's happening. It looks like there may be ANOTHER PAIR OF LEAVES still inside. The red outer leaves are opening...

... like a #muppetmouth and I think that number three is soon going to make a grand entrance. This is crazy! I can't believe it! 😱 #lithopsession #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops #grownfromseed #fromseed

Good morning and I hope you are having a great time

How old are these?

@shaz1970 They're 7.5 months old. Planted at the end of Sept 2017.

Thanks 👍

Fraggle Funnyface's eyes are getting big and bright. Maybe also a tiny blush? #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops

I love Fraggle!!!

Fraggle how cute, I used to get called Red as my hair was long, curly and a touch red. ❣️😊🙏🏼👍🏼

Funnyface Fraggle seems like he is actually twins of something. I see the tiniest hint of a line going across his two eyes, which suggests his eyes are actually two baby lithops bodies. Now to figure out the species. Someone suggested he might be an optica rubra which really would be too good to be true. It'll be a miracle if I can get him to adulthood; I've heard they're difficult to grow.

Funny face is getting a tad wrinkly... #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops

I think this funnyface reminds me of a Fraggle. 30 Apr 2018 #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops #livingstones #succulents #closeup #upclose #cutiepatootie #smallisbeautiful Someone on Facebook said he might be an optica rubra seedling, as (1) he's the right shape and color, and (2) opticas are more sensitive to overwatering, which I have definitely done.

I love your names😁 @sushiwaitress

Green eyes on this #muppetface look slightly bigger today. His green buddy on the right looks like he might start splitting again soon too. #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops #upclose #closeup #succulents #smallisbeautiful

#muppetmouth #muppetface #lithops #seedling #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops #lithops-id Looking more and more like a #tiny set of twins. #teeny #ittybitty #smallisbeautiful

This #lithops #seedling officially gets his own GT plant listing in my collection today. He sprouted with my other mixed lithops seeds from #mesagarden but he looks so different from my other seedlings (perhaps due to my overwatering) that I'm going to keep an eye on him and see what he develops into. He looks like one of the #muppets with green eyes and a big plush #muppetmouth No idea why this guy has two green bumps/eyes.
