Kikko, you have fantastic plants! Great work!
my small results (3 years old seedlings)... the big one with massive V - my new plant and I hope to get more interesting forms from its seeds next season...
Hi Nata, Lovely plants...
Thanks Nata, also your plants are pretty good.
v-type
Astro very nice plants, are they from your own seeds???
Both these plants are bought in China.
Great plants! And so various, compliments to all!
If you crossed two particular V-type forms and obtained some good results, please open a new topic with mother and father plant and the seedlings/grafted seedlings.
Thanks for your estimations. To me it is very pleasant, that you like my plants. However, to show result it is necessary to raise 3-4 years plants. Supercabuto show the delights not at once. In my country cold winters and plants have possibility to grow 5-6 months in a year. My seedlings/grafted grow extremely slowly.

what do you think?
A descendant of Tiger super kabuto which I bought seeds and sowed on 8th October 2003.
I still use same name indicated by the seed supplier but the plant is a super-kabuto V-type.
The plant is own-rooted.

They look great Simon, and well cultivated!
how old and large are they?
thanks
Very beautiful and with a great variety of designs!
Thanks!
They are between 50-65mm, the fourth one is around 80mm. All of them are about five to six years old.
They came from Koehres seeds, the original seedlings didn't show the v but when I crossed the plants from the Koehres seeds together their children showed v about one in twenty.
I am guessing the original seed was a cross between v-type and normal super kabuto, the occurrence of v type in the second generation suggests that the v-type gene is recessive.
Here is a strange v-type, the v has little wool and a deep groove, I can't decide if this is nice or ugly!

Simply amazing! They look very healthy and well grown.

my seedlings...
Beautiful plants, the V marked form, in my opinion, is the most fascinating among all the SK.
Can I help you to decide Simon? Also the last one is simply beautiful!
Andrea.
Simon, great job, amazing plants. I admire your perseverance
I have sowed some v type from Kohres also. Only one showed V-type characters and because of that I only keeped that plant. I also have some seeds to sow this month.
How do you manage to keep them so clean? Mine are full of dirt, it gets up by capillarity no matter if I water from the bottom or top.
Hi Andrea, Thank You.
Hi Lucian, I use a layer of the red scoria(lava rock) as the top dressing. It prevents soil splashing on the plants, it also dries out quickly if you water in the morning on a hot day so the capillary action is less of a problem. I think that watering around the plants rather than on top of them and trying to only 3/4 wet the soil so it isn't saturated helps with preventing capillary action. But even doing all this some plants still get dirty because the wool acts as a wick, it is most of a problem on smaller plants, once they are around 4-5 cm it doesn't happen so much.
a very nice form, do you like it too?
