Some ariocarpus retusus cv Shinkawa Tamazouge were in flower.
This cultivar was developed by Mr Shinkawa and the cactus has long tubercles.
Photo 1 and photo 2 are original ones which I bought seeds and sowed in 2005. All others are offsprings.

Some ariocarpus retusus v furfuraceus were in flower in this morning.
They were propagated from seeds of cv Suguri cauliflower but they could not show the cauliflower character.

Some ariocarpus retusus cv Daruma Royals were in flower.

The last one has never been grafted which is showing the original character of cultivar.

5 1st filial ariocarpus hybrids were in flower, which were quite young, 5 years old.
The hybrid is retusus v furfuraceus cv Suguri cauliflower x fissuratus cv godzilla. I tryied to make an ariocarpus which had long tubercles with fissuratus texture.

Ariocarpus retusus shown on attached photos were propagated from seeds which were given by my friend as "retusus cv cauliflower".
Unfortunately these cacti do not show the character of cauliflower at all. The colour of flower is also abnormal.

Some ariocarpus fissuratus were in flower.

I post two photos of ariocarpus species today.

1st photo is a retusus cv duo-fingers. I have never bought seeds of this cultivar but the cactus shows duo-fingers character.

2nd photo is a retusus v furfuraceus cv Daruma Seiji. I normally take photos when flowers open. The colour of flower is white at that time.
I took this photo just before flowers to finish. The colour of retusus flowers turn to like this in few days.
