I've been collecting Astrophytums and Ariocarpus for many years now. I think almost 20 years.
Most of what I have i've grown from seed myself if I could get it. In the past 6 years i've focused alot
on growing Ariocarpus and making hybrids. I'm now having a new resurgence with the Astrophytums
in my collection and finding the plants older, larger, and more beautiful than ever. Enjoy the photos!
good work! keep it up!

Hello Dijibo
Really nice things you have created. That Ario bench is beautiful, such clean well maintained plants. I am very happy to see your Ario breeding projects, as you say "there are very few of us" particularly Ario breeders.
I am also wondering where you are from.
Thanks for posting and greetings from Australia too!
Welcome! And thank you for sharing such beautilfull pictures with us (:

Hi dijibo, Welcome...Thanks for sharing your Lovely plants...Greetings from Malta - Europe...
keep it up =) wonderful collection
Thank you everyone! I live just outside Austin Texas, which is Central Texas. I have
so many more greenhouse photos to share. It is very interesting that here in America
people are not very interested in rare plants. There is some interest but not very much.
It seems that it is mostly people in Europe and beyond.
Years ago I spent some money to buy plants from Thailand. All Astrophytums.
I really wish to have Ariocarpus cultivars. Cultivars live Cauliflower, Trifinger, and
Godzilla are very interesting to me. You can't get seeds from any nurseries online.
I have a impressive list of Ariocarpus and Astrophytum seeds to trade with anyone that
can help me aquire some seeds of ario. cultivars. This last fall I had many flowers from ario. scapharostrus
so I was able to make everykind of hybrid from this. I just need to find time to plant seeds
and get grafting stock ready.
Thank you for saying hello everyone. I hope to find more time to share and chat
with everyone. Feel free to ask any questions and thanks everyone for sharing.
So many plants so little time!
