very nice shinshouwa kabutos
Just one plant is remained in my place. Buds come out quite often but is hard to open by unknown reason.
Thank you Frank. We have some own roots plants too, and for them it is quite hard to complete their bloom.
We think own roots plants are quite weak.
Maybe if the plants has a lot of buds, you can remove all and leave only one or two buds.

My plant is actually grafted on a Hylocereus stock. Although the scion becomes large, the stock becomes very weak now.
The flower was opened like this before.

Nice plants! a bit unusual that the plant makes one normal flower and another shinshowa!
@Frank
if the stock, for some reason, dies, you could re-graft on normal asterias. i did it for hanazono, it is easy and effective, you obtain a plant which grows slower, but it seems stable ( my one has 2 years only, but i think the stock will last as much as scion)
G'morning fanecchissimo
I understand you regraft an asterias cultivar scion onto a normal asterias stock.
It is possible but I have never try this way honenstly.
In the case of regrafting, the age and size of scion will affect on the result generally.
For eg my shinshouwa kabuto, grafted on a Hylocereus is 6years and 13 cm diameter.
It is too large to regraft, I think.
I use a large permanet stock for important scions for seeds collection currently.
I use Harrisia Jusbertii, 8 cm diameter and 60 cm height.
The stock life should be longet than the scion.
The normal asterias life is around 20 years and it will be shorter if the plant was grafted.
interesting.
is it frost hardy?
because i only keep plants that can reach 0°celsius... it is a great pest control...
every astro i do have resist perfectly.
pereskiopsis velutina does the job, opuntias does the job, tricho does the job... echinopsis are quite unstable like myrtillocactus.
if it is, than i would be interested in knowing where to find it, to give it a try! :)
fanecchissimo harisia is more frost tollerant tam mirtillo for sure and for me it give to the scion a more natural form.
interesting... will look for some,then! :)
Frank,
if the stock dies and the plant is too big to regraft you can regraft parts of it, cutting the plant into parts with some areoles on each part.
you can see it here:

@ gattopardo:
great plant and flowers
@ Mestre:
we crossed with coahuilense, we will see in the future what will come out, do not know if it works with capricorne
Lovely plants...
I have a question. If who that sowed seeds asterias shinshowa and has already blossoming posterity. Whether this sign well is descended? What approximately percent from total? Whether as interests red shinshowa repeats posterity red colour and the form of flowers . Why has decided to ask - the seller from Japan has answered me, that red shinshowa it is a difficult grade and very badly inherits the signs at reproduction by seeds. Whether so it? Who has experience, share supervision and results.
we have some plants of shinshowa yellow, but do not know a lot about the %, because we grafted only few of them and not all of them already flowered. One or two have shinshowa flowers. For sure we'll be able to have more data next summer.

This is mine. Koëhres seeds. Own roots.
It gives about 80 seeds per fruit but I still don't know if the resulting cross will be shinshowa.
Should I use this plant as mother or as father to get shinshowa plants?

Hey guys,
I just love all this Shinshowa plants. They are my favorit Flowers. I am looking for a long time for a ,, Asterias Shinshowa wine-red-flower´´, but I couldn´t find one ( maybe because I am running out of money :P :P). They are fantastic.
To my own:
Well, this is my first comment. My name is Eric. I am from Germany and I am 17 years old. I collect cacti since 4 years. In the last 3 years I fall in love with the Astrophytums. Particularly the Japan-Hybrids.
I am sorry if my english is not perfect, but it should be enough to communicate ::). My collection is even pretty little ( about 100-200 plants). But it grows....
Greetings Eric
Hello Eric,
nice to meet you!

Daniel (Echinopsis)
Hello Eric and welcome on the forum!

Nice plants, wonderful flowers!
I have had some shinshowa flowers recently, they are a bit smaller than ordinary asterias but very interesting.

They are very beautiful flowers, I think that in this CV. is rare to find large flowers but very frequent small.

the special shinshowa with very long petals shown above has a very nice pattern and areoles, what is the right name for it?
