Ariocarpus with a bit of cauliflower character
Vandessel, I also find that my A.furfuraceus often has slight cauliflower characteristics. I think to select for a true cauliflower will take many generations though.
a couple of our cauliflower in flower during 2010; for this year no flowers so far...
it's understandable why they are quite rare...

Very nice Daniele. Is this from cauliflower x cauliflower? I see many sellers who sell retusus x retusus cauliflower, I'm wondering how good results that give?
Dan
Hi Dan, yes this is cauli x cauli, we sew retusus x cauli too but it's still early to know the results.
But it seems the father plant brings god characters on arios.
Maybe some other memeber can confirm, we have not so big experience for the moment...
Ariocarpus furfuraceus 'Cauliflower', 4 years old grafted seedlings from own seeds, pot size 13x13cm

Hi Andi, Beautiful plants...
:o SPECTACULAR :o
Andi, those plants left us simply speechless, they are awesome.
And to see own grown plants in flower is a satisfaction. Bigger one since they are great cauliflower!!!
Thank you all
amazing plants, i hope you have time to be the bee
one cauliflower with a bunch of flowers open today, and it is the only cauli in flower! any suggestions for the crossings?

i would cross with pectinatus or any other retusus type
very nice impressev i never see so much flowers on a cauliflower :)
Hi C&D, Wonderful...Compliments...
thank you all!
@ dag
we crossed it with 4 different ariocarpus: retusus, mituibo, godzilla x cauliflower and godzilla
we'll see next year the results...
Nice work. I saw cauliflower X Godzilla are wonderful. All plants had the mottled yellow and very rough tubercles.
It will be nice to see in the future if it's better crossing cauliflower x godzilla or side reverse.
great pictures in this tread, congrats to all of you
Beautiful plant, especially the first photo.There will be a good seeding next year!
a small seedling grafted on selenicereus:

This is the most promising seedling among retusus x califlower cross (seeds C&D), regrafted from Pereskiopsis to Echinopsis.
Great job Andrea, the plant is showing a good influence of Cauli
nice plant Andrea, we like it!
Thanks!
We'll see if it maitains these cauliflower features!
very light roughness, but big flower!!!

Huge flower!
The new tubercles look rougher than old ones, the plant is improoving, i think!
Andrea.
Yes we hope the same :)

Great Cauliflower available in Japan...

Really beautiful and ultra rare plants everyone!
Arioandi... That Plant at auction in Japan looks like an exact clone of the fantastic plant you showed us in this thread back in October. Perhaps the producers of these wonderful cultivars have some very select clones that are propagated vegetatively.
Hi Simon,
it is tru, my plant ant the one on the auction are similar, possible, that they are propagated vegetatively. I bought another similar plant, with about 9cm tubercles, I hope, both plants will flower together next fall, so I can get seeds...
