wonderful fleks...
did you select from own rooted plants or it is impossible because of the low photosintesys?
Hi fanecchissimo, thanks. It takes time cos, I did selective breeding between the best, and pollinate the best again, and than I got this result.
great plant Mario!are the original plants still alive? have you got photo of them?
Hi C&D, thanks. I did not keep records cos, you can never finish in a greenhouse. It's too much time consuming and besides cactus I have another, time consuming hobby which is fishing etc.
It's a very beautiful plant..compliments.
Hi kikko, THANKS for your appreciation.

Mariepardi is a great plant.
Beautiful, also pics are great..
great!!! beautifull and big plant! :P
ornatum x onzuka (or arnxmyr in general) are called banjaku if i remember right!
Hi Andi and C&D, thanks.
Hi kikko and sharkxing, THANKS for your appreciation.
Hi cortona, I am not qualified yet to comment on your question. From what I think, Frank, Paolo, Flavio and C&D, are more qualified to answer your question. I named it, Astrophytum oronz cv. "Mariepardi" for my wife, for the patience she takes for me and instead of giving it just a number only, although I gave it a number too. I prefare a name. That plant is 11 years old from my seeds and on its own roots.
G'morning Cortona
Ornatum x myriostigma is called "banjyaku".
Ornatum x Onzuka is called "Onzuka banjayaku".
Hi Frank, "Welcome". THANKS for the info. You spelled "banjyaku" different than the other. Is it on purpose?
i'm sure Frank use the right terms!
