most grafts made this year, but some are a couple years old

all of these were grafted using flat cut. see link at bottom for how to.

lophophora hybrid grafted to Pereskoipsis.

same seed batch of Lophophora hybrids as above, but this was a messy areole grafting.

Lophocereus monstrose grafted to Hylocereus.

Trichcereus bridgesii frm monstrose grafted to Myrtillocactus geometrizans cv. breast

this was actually last year, but i like how it turned out. Lophophora williamsii grafted to a 1 meter tall Hylocereus.

Ariocarpus retusus grafted to Myrtillocactus geometrizans

Astrophytum asterias cv Hanazono grafted to Hylocereus

Some more lophs grafted to Myrtillocactus geomatrizans

some trichocereus peruvianus grafted to Pereskiopsis (i use this for cuttings)

Some trichocereus crest grafted onto to Myrtillocactus geometrizans.

Ortegocactus macdougallii grafted to Hylocereus.

Aztekium ritteri and hintonii grafted onto Hylocereus.

Myrtillocactus geometrizans (variegated crest) grafted to (i only know the chinese name, i need to find the latin name)

Astrophytum myriostigma cv. kikko grafted to Hylocereus

Awesome Loph!

You are a PRO grafter.
those tricho. peruvianus on pereskiopsis look like they will get a bit top-heavy soon!
my fav is the asterias cv Hanazono and the aztekiums..they look so cool.
