Very nice indeed! I've wondered what this looks like when it blooms. I have two plain P. nelii and two Royal Flush cultivars (purple ones). Are you gonna try and cross it with anything? Being a Mesemb you could see what else it might pollinate. Try P. nelii x Lithops _____ or something and see what comes out of the seed. I'm gonna try weird crosses since I found out that's possible with cacti, like orchids there can be intergeneitic crosses within related families. Now I just need some flowers! Maybe next winter/spring I guess.
 
The only plants i have in flower now are pygmy drosera...so i don't think they will cross well with this P. nelli...can't even imagine how a hybrid would look like if you ever get it to germinate.
 
Ohh! Ohh! P. nelii! Wait, what do you mean I didn't win the priz- oh.

I have 13 or so Lithops of various species in bloom. :boogie:
