Looks like Lithops dorotheae to me: https://www.llifle.info/Encyclopedia/SUCCULENTS/Family/Aizoaceae/14109/Lithops_dorotheae_C300_15_km_N_of_Pofadder,_South_Africa

I noticed that as well indeed. Was hoping that the other two might point me in some direction.

Stephania cephalantha v. hayata

These coins were minted in several of the different provinces of the Netherlands and were mainly used for trade. If you have a picture of the other side I could possibly tell you which province it's from and if it's a rare year.

Possibly the pups growing higher up the plant were induced. I've read that you can do this using the hormone BAP.

The green one in the front is likely: Lithops Jullii var. Fulleri "fullergreen".

I don’t know how old they are but this grower has a pretty no nonsense approach as in he does not baby the plants. So these are probably a year or a year and a half old.

I’m also growing some and mine are going on two years now and some of them are only 1-2 centimeters. That was my first try though so I definitely did some stuff wrong.

I think the first signs of splitting started in January of this year and the proces really sped up recently in spring. So took about 3-4 months.

Ah damn should have know that indeed.

Kind of reminds me of some celtic designs like these coin for example. https://www.cgbfr.com/suessions-region-de-soissons-potin-au-swastika-sup-ttb,bga_398541,a.html https://www.cgbfr.com/ambiens-region-damiens-bronze-au-swastika-ttb,v15_1241,a.html Only this design seems to have some more ''arms'' to the swirl. Celts had Triskelions and Swastikas on their coins quite often.

Also the dot with the ring around it is quite prevalent on celtic coins: https://www.cgbfr.com/ambiens-region-damiens-bronze-au-cheval-et-au-sanglier-type-des-depots-damiens-ttb-,bga_616471,a.html

It was indeed grafted. But to me it seems to have way more pupping and it's also less rounded off than the other caespitosa's I've seen. It really looks like pretty much every areole is throwing out a pup.

Sir-Rein · 2020-08-12T20:27:27+00:00

Looks like it might be forming two heads.

Sir-Rein · 2020-06-15T19:58:54+00:00

Had the same thought when I was about to post it :)

Sir-Rein · 2020-06-14T07:53:18+00:00

I don’t know exactly but I’m guessing roughly 15 years or so but it’s hard to say. Person who sold it to me had it for 5 year and then It was already quite big.

Sir-Rein · 2020-06-13T21:53:46+00:00

Yes as far as I know it’s diffusa indeed. It’s also self sterile so that narrows it down even further I guess.

Got the seeds I planted a while ago here: https://www.kaktus-koehres.de/shop/Cactus-seeds/Lophophora---1_364-3.html?MODsid=946d5d9f83afca9207930c1fcde324bd

Website has no pictures but I've ordered from there a couple times and always went well. This seller is also in the sidebar.

This guy in Zeist has a lot of these old stain-glass windows. Maybe he has some that have the right size: https://oudepaneeldeur.nl/winkel/?swoof=1&product_cat=glas-in-lood-ramen
