G'morning xiaohuage123,

jarmilaes is a man?

Honestly I do not know the exact meaning of "jarmilae". Since "Jarmila" is a Slavic origin female given name, jarmilae is not a man, I think.
Some one of this forum member may be able to tell the exact meaning.

Some ariocarpus species were in flower yesterday afternoon.

It's a name proposed by the Czech botanist Josef Jakob Halda, after his wife Jarmila Haldova.

Some ariocarpus species were in flower yesterday. I took their photos.

My goodness Frank, what happened to those A. kotschoubeyanus f. Rio Verde?

G'morning Nino_G,

These cacti are degafted ones. They rely on own-roots but the character of "grafted" has still remained.

There was a competition which was shortest period from seed to flower in a domestic cactus forum. It was OK any species and any methods.
I use Ariocarpus kotshoubeyanus f Rio Verde. Since ariocarpus are in flower in autumn, if you sowed seed in spring and grafted seedling, you could see flowers in autumn. I knew you could see flowers earlier if you grafted seedling younger. I grafted seedings 3 days after germination for the competition. I could see flowers 4 months after sown seed.

5 degrafted ones have survived. These photos were two of them.

Ariocarpus retusus related species were in flower in this afternoon.

Flowers of ariocarpus retusus cv Shinkawa Tama Zouge have come back. I have kept 24 plants sown seeds on same day.

3 ariocarpus species were in flower yesterday.

Degrafted ariocarpus agavoides were in flower in this morning. They have shorter and thicker tubercles than that of standard agavoides.

Even the tweens can be different individuals.

G'morning 7george,

Even the tweens can be different individuals.

I think you are talking about Photo IMG_4163. The cactus is one plant and has tween heads.
