Update! the plants are 2,5-3 months old now, and they start to show their true character:

Ariocarpus retusus cv. maruibo. Many plants from this seed-packet show monstrose growth:




Ariocarpus retusus v. cauliflower:




Echinocactus horizonthalonius v. nicholii from waterman mountains, Arizona. This plant show crested offsets:


Ariocarpus fissuratus cv. godzilla:

I got this plant from a bag of superkabuto seeds... I'm wondering if it could be an ornatum kikko?



Dan

[robinast]

Could be, could be indeed! And even if it's not, something interesting is growing anyway...

Today, I looked closer at my Aztekium ritteri grafts on Pereskiopsis stock. I did like what I saw - and thought that maybe
someone else would like them as well.  Thus, have a look at some photos:

Wow, amazing work! You can be proud (:
I find grafting aztekium and strombocactus super difficult because they are so small, so I  haven't done it for a while. Maybe it's time to try again.

Here is an update from my winter-project:

Ariocarpus retusus cv. cauliflower:




Ariocarpus furfuraceus cv. maruibo:


Astrophytum myriostigma cv. fukuryu "sassanami"


Astrophytum asterias f. variegata on harrisia jusbertii:


Astrophytum myriostigma cv. kikko white:


These days I'm building a new setup for my grafts. The bottom is finished, but I still have some work ahead of me before the top floors are done. It should have twice the capacity compared to my old one:


Enjoy!
