| In 1811, William John Burchell was on a botanical expedition in South Africa when he went to pick up an interesting stone and found it was a plant. The name comes from the Greek - lithos (stones) and ops (like); thus the common name - "Living Stones." A brief photo essay of the growth cycle of Lithops is presented here. Clicking on the plant name provides a link to a photo. The photo is not necessarily the individual plant being sold, but illustrates the species as represented in our collection. An asterisk * indicates a name no longer accepted in Lithops - Flowering Stones, 2005, by Desmond & Naureen Cole. When ordering, please note the plant name (including variety or subspecies) and price. Thanks. (List updated February 20, 2012) |
