Beautiful flowers Al.

Dawn

Thanks Dawn. This is an old favorite because of both the color of the leaves and the time of bloom.

Al

thank you for posting i love mesemb, and God rest her soul.

Love the flowers, Al. I have two of these but no flowers yet. One I also acquired from a local collector who passed away this year.

Did Cathryn supply the labels? CM10, coincidentally or otherwise, is a Desmond Cole collection number from Conophytum (Opthalmophyllum) friedrichie. It is described by Mesa Garden as having a red window with many dots around the border. I have a CM15 version of the species. I don't know of a publication source for the CM field collection numbers so I can't give you any more information about it.

Thanks, s-n-b, for this response. I'm passing your remarks on to a friend who really likes to track down these sorts of things. More, if and when I hear something.
