Cactus / Ariocarpus hybrid

This cactus is a grafted Ariocarpus 1st filial hybrid, kotschoubeyanus x scaphirostris.
I sowed seeds on 25th November 2010 and grafted very young seedlings.
If you grafted a young seeding of small type Ariocarpus in spring, the scion is in flower in autumn, within 6 month.

Unfortunately the growing speed of this scion was not fast enogh, it missed the chance of flowering in the 1st autumn. Several flowering buds have come out. I think I can see some flowers soon.
