Re: MrXeric's Grafts
Great flower!! Could this be a hybrid? Flower is pretty dark, almost like a A scapharotrus flower, congrats on a beautiful plant!MrXeric wrote: ↑Fri Apr 22, 2022 11:51 pm This 7 month old graft of Ariocarpus fissuratus, from seed sown last year, bloomed yesterday before the rain. I've been watching the bud form for the last couple months, thinking it was an offset at first since it didn't form on the the apex but lower down, almost Mammillaria-like.

Re: MrXeric's Grafts
Thanks Evan!
Thank you Alejandro! You know, I think you may be onto something here. I was struck by the difference in color and shape of the stigma lobes and style
on my plant (4 lobes and both lobes and style nearly as pink as the petals) and that of other A. fissuratus (more lobes and both lobes and style almost white). Maybe these things are variable? But this scion also looks very different from another I grafted from the same batch of seeds I purchased from C and D Plants. A hybrid certainly seems likely, I think.

Thank you MrXeric

Re: MrXeric's Grafts
Pereskiopsis survives down to 28'F reliably for me. It does lose all it's leaves though. It seems to grow happiest indoors under lights.

Good to know. Maybe I can plant one in the ground after all.promethean_spark wrote: ↑Mon May 02, 2022 1:31 am Pereskiopsis survives down to 28'F reliably for me. It does lose all it's leaves though. It seems to grow happiest indoors under lights.

Re: MrXeric's Grafts
Perskiopsis does have wicked spines and glochids, frankly I wouldn't dare plant it in the ground lest I have a huge noxious bush to deal with.
Re: MrXeric's Grafts
The second of my 2021 grafts to flower, Eriosyce villicumensis DJF 362. Very nice smoky yellow flower.

Re: MrXeric's Grafts
Another of my grafts bloomed, 1.5 years after grafting on Selenicereus megalanthus seedlings,
Cochemiea schumannii 'globosa' (=Mammillaria schumannii v. globosa).

Re: MrXeric's Grafts
The next to bloom, Ariocarpus kotschoubeyanus 'elephantidens' [MG 30].

That webbing? I got spooked too (several of my grafts suffered mite damage), but it's just a friendly spider

Re: MrXeric's Grafts
The Ariocarpus above flowered again, but this time it was a fully female flower, no anthers at all (the previous one had a few), and even has a second style (but no stigma lobes).

Ariocarpus trigonus 'elongatus' [MG43]

the scion is about 2in./5cm on its longest side

Astrophytum myriostigma 'Onzuka Bouzu'. Also known as "Onzuka Blind Form". After Frank (Hanazono) helped me identify this plant, I researched a bit and found more pics of this form using its Japanese name "アストロフィツム恩塚鸞鳳玉坊主" or equivalently "アストロフィツム恩塚鸞鳳玉ボウズ", the difference between the two being only how 'bouzu' is written at the end.

Re: MrXeric's Grafts
I'm also looking forward to this update. There are very few plants of this variety. I got several grafted plants this winter, and I'm thinking about how to deal with them.
