Raoulia australis

Here is an update on the mat of Raoulia australis that was featured a month ago - it's starting to flower! Unlike the previous photograph, I've included some gravel for scale. I estimate two thousand flowers in an area not much larger than the two of my hands placed side by side.

Thanks for the update, I love minitures in the landscape as they require one to take slow down and focus in more closely.

greetings from Italy.
My question is: how much time to grow as in the photo showed? (large as two hands)
A botanic garden offered me today a little plant little as a circle of 5 cm.
May i wait how much time to have a plant large 30 cm?( note that i am 72 old, so.....i cannot wait too much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a 2001 accession, so somewhere between four and seven years to get to this size, I'm guessing.
