Although there had been very little rain before visiting the colony most of the plants were in a fair condition. However, the remains of some plants, especially multi-headed plants were obvious.

    The four members of the LRCF explored a new habitat for Lithops schwantesii subsp. schwantesii var. schwantesii on a farm near Helmeringhausen on 13 April 2018 after the owner found Lithops on an isolated hill on the farm 10 days earlier. In total 21 plants were found in the colony in, most of them flowering in the late afternoon sun. After recent good rain in the area the plants were in good condition. Figure 1.
