Two turbinicarpus alonsoi were in flower yesterday. They are quite small, which are in 6.5 cm square pots.

I have 2 plants which are similar size of Ariocarpus fissuratus f Big Bend. I posted one of them but the other one was also in flower yesterday afternoon. It was also 3rd flowering in this season for the cactus.

Just one cactus was in flower yesterday. It was 3rd flowering for the cactus in this season. It is the turning point of season from summer to autumn currently.

G'morning Spence, What's your biggest A. myriostgma? You've got some real monsters, I had no idea they could even get that big! I attached 3 photos for your information. Photo 1: My biggest myriostigma, nudum form, 20 cm in diameter Photo 2: My tallest myriostigma, cv Onzuka, 16 cm in diameter and 3...

Two cacti were in flower yesterday.

I am sure I did not buy the cactus on 2nd photo but I am not sure how I got this one.
I also am not sure the name but it may be a Mammillaria schiedeana because the cactus is in flower in autumn.

4 retusus related seedlings were repotted in 5 cm square tubes in this morning.

Many my Ariocarpus plants are in 12.5 cm square pots. I found some of them were difficult to water because Plants and pots were too tight.
I reoptted 2 plants last week. I bought new pots at a discount shop near my place. The pot material is mixed sawdust and plastic.

G'morning ossy96,

how big is in diameter?

The myriostigma on photo is around 19 cm in diameter.

4 astrophytum species were in flower yesterday afternoon.

G'morning Nino_G, I have never heard of Astrophytum capricorne cv Daiou cultivar, nor I can find any information on the internet. Do you perhaps have a picture of an adult plant? I do not have the cactus and so I do not have a picture. My friend told me "Daiou" but I found the correct name...

Yesterday was the last summer day. Some super kabutos were in flower in the afternoon.

G'morning Nino_G, apart from colour which is, like Keith said, very green The sunlight in summer in here is very strong and I cover greenhouses over by 50% shadecloth between mid of November and mid of March. It may affect the body colour. On the other hand, each species show slightly different body...

G'day kieth, I had probelms with A. retutus from 2012 many died I think bad soil. I think fissuratus can tolerate against various conditions, which is more than retusus but many retusus seedlings can also survive. The photo is retusus v bicolor sown seeds in 2011. They are in 8.5 cm square pots. Frank

The grafting process of 7 scions was completed in this morning. Scions are 4 Astrophytum capricorne cv Daiou and 3 Ariocarpus retusus v furfuraceus cv Suguri cauliflower. My friend visited my place and asked me to graft seedlings of capricorne cv Daiou. He attempted to graft many times but he could ...

G'morning Nino_G, That A. fissuratus in the last picture is really beautiful. In my opinion it looks much better than grafted plants. I think everyone's opinion is same as you. The grafting was carried out to meet the local situation. To get Ariocarpus seeds is not easy in here. There was a local pr...
