very marked plants and all in flowers, good luck for the seeds!
good bee work, have a nice pollination! :)
very nice plants
I also bought seeds and they are now flowering size.
Unfortunately mines are single-finger, not showing tri-fingers(mitsu ibo) character at all.
Hi frank if they are small abut 5 cm, may be they get out the carestics after more mature because i buy trefinger whit little markings of trefinger or nothing than after when they get bigger they came better and better. but dont worry next year i will have pure ones. bye Sandro :)

your plant is marvelous..!!
Splendid plants guys!
On average in which % do they come out 3-fingers from two 3-fingers parents?
a rule don't exist... depends from how many generations are been selected the mother plants... more' long has been the more selection' probability' to have seedlings with the leaf to three points..!!

Hi
Lovely plants I have more to go on my wish list ;), what grafting stock do you use ?, is it temp sensitive or might it be Ok for Uk growing conditions.
Hello, here in northern italy harrisia is good as grafting stock. But we use also other kinds of stocks for grafted seedlings, such as selenicereus, pereskiopsis and myrtillo. But with them you need to heat the greenhouse.
Also fero glaucescens, echinopsis and trichocereus species are good for graftings and they should be ok for UK weather, but let's wait if there is somebody else from norther europe who shares his experience...
thanks
trichos are really good for cold environments, but if too wet they can produce horrible brown spots.
usually tricocereus pachanoi is widely used in nortern environments!
