Godzilla on you photo of 31/03/2010 is very nice.
I think that one is called Aka-godzilla (red godzilla), I think.
Hi Frank that godzilla change color like koh yo
I must say these are really fantastic plants. Gerd, That half orange one is priceless!
does anybody know which plant generally determinates the size of tubercles? Mother plant or father plant?
here a small grafted seedliing of mine

These two are my favorites, Sandro. Very, very nice. But I think they are hybrids?

wonderful gattopardo! how large are the tubercles of the first godzilla? It's hugee
In fact it looks great, do you know approximately how large are the tubercles in cm?
thanks
Compliments your ario cv are in perfect condition. Nice job. sorry for asking in wich cuntry you live? :-[
hello gattopardo! From your experience the tubercle size on godzilla is brought generally from the motheplant or from the fatherplant?
Ciao Flavio, mi interessava sapere se la dimensione dei tubercoli è influenzata più dalla pianta madre o dalla pianta che porta il polline nei semenzali o nelle piantine innestate.
Grazie
thanks a lot for the info! And nice picture to have an idea of how large are the tubercles, they are huge!
do you have any seedlings from this plant? Do you keep the seedlings on own roots or you graft some too?
very good result, compliments!
thanks gattopardo!
this is a close-up of one of our plant:

godzilla red leave
nice plants all !
Yesterday I received a very nice Godzilla:
very nice plant Gerd!
how large are the tubercles?
Greets
Hello Daniele,
the large of the tubercles is 5,5cm. But I think, that the round shape is particular. Hopefully I can save this nice form.
Best regards
Gerd

Hello
I'm new to here but have been admiring all your plant photo's, simply amazing.
I have a new Ariocarpus which I believe is cv.godzilla, it's own roots, after looking at some of yours I wonder if it was sold as the leaves bumpiness/fissures ( not sure what you call these) don't look as deep/good as some of the ones posted.
Beautiful plant, congratulations! It is difficult to see a Godzilla on roots, although it is not very wrinkled is no less beautiful! How big is it?
hello and welcome! where are you from?
Consider that godzilla on own roots have generally less marked characters than grafted ones, but there are also grafted plants that show good characters but do not have so good genetic. Yours is a nice plant for sure!!!
Hello & thanks for the comments
The Ario is probably 5" across, I'm in the UK.

Beautiful plant, it has tubercle very rough!
thanks, they are quite large too
All are very nice !!

Great results Sandro!
I also start to see good results from your godzilla seeds. They show very good godzilla patterns!
Dan
Three specimens very beautiful, congratulations!
thanks a lot my friends. and am very happy for that Dan
What do you think about these two? Are they going to show some good Godzilla features?
Andrea.
For me they are the baby Godzilla looks very promising!
Hi Andrea,
Especially the first one look very promissing, but only time can tell (:
Good luck!
Dan
Thanks! We'll seein the future!
Andrea.
one we like a lot :)

These from Sandro's seeds, regrafted from peresk to opuntia the first and to echinopsis the second. How would you call the second one?
Very nice plants Andrea, you can be very proud of your work!
Dan
Beautiful plants friends, it is a pleasure to see them!
flower baskets or better 'bouquets de fleurs' on godzilla

This is just amazing!
Thanks Dan, it is such a satisfaction to see them flowering like this :)
Spectacular, all together that synchrony!
yeyyyy! seeds for all
hehehehe! yes they are very synchronized :)
Hey, I'm just wondering if anyone has any Godzilla seeds available? \O/ Really into fissuratus, but have been reading up on Godzilla and think I'm in love, hehehe. I'll pay any sort of fee/postage that is necessary. ;)
Anybody out there? lol , Anywho, gonna look around the interweb and see if I can find any Godzillas while I'm waiting on you guys for the seeds.
From 10 seeds 5 germinated. Are the others coming or is this it??
I'd wait some more time - sometimes, some seedlings appear much later than the first ones. :)
Actually I think 5 out of ten is quite good germination for this cultivar, I have tried a half dozen batches of this seed and about the best I got was 60%. Sometimes if you let them dry out for a couple of weeks then soak one or two more will pop up like Robinast says.
I, actually, have no experience with this cultivar so far. A week ago, I sowed 30 seeds of Godzilla and 20 seeds of A. retusus 'pectinatus'. So far, the germination has been 23,3% and 85% respectively. And the very first Godzilla seeds sprouted only yesterday. I'll be waiting...
Well, I have grafted 3 o them and after a week they look like they are going to make it. 8)

Is it its real color this in the picture? It looks purple! Super color, nice round shape, very rough tubercles... What else do you want in a Godzilla?
Yes it's purple :) thank you Andrea
Hi,
Is it Fissuratus Godzilla X Retusus Cauliflower? I bought it today and seller calls it "Ariocarpus retusus cv SUPER GODZILLA"
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-QPp9kuP9xK4/VRMKGQczH_I/AAAAAAAAD90/G63iImIIXGY/w532-h472/godzilla.jpg)
P.S. I am looking to buy seeds, so far I have 1-month old seedlings of Godzilla and 1-week Cauliflower. Looking for tri-finger, mauribo, hybrids, etc.; thank you!
