This contest breaks the record for ratio of discussion posts to ratio of contest entries. By a long mile.

I own not one of the qualifying plants. I love them, but I never learned how to grow them. I like to look at other peoples'.

It is not necessary that the plant pictured is your own plant. (But the picture will sure be better if you do indeed love the plant pictured
)

Here's an interesting one for those who worry that their plants don't divide. According the the woman who owns Farm Tiras in Namibia, she has been visiting this Lithops for 24 years.

So here's my entry if they don't need to be round.
Faucaria candida. Truth be told, this is today, it had no open flowers on closing day, Nov. 15.

.
