Cactus / lloydii

I bought seeds of Ariocarpus fissuratus v lloydii and sowed on 11/08/2005.
Several young seedlings were grafted onto Hylocereus stocks.
I degrafted 2 of them later.
Degrafting  and rooting of fissuratus is hard because liquid from cutting face runs continuously and difficult to stop. This leads rotting during rooting process nornally.
I did degrafting with a short vascula-bandle of Hylocereus because this method was not necessary to cut the plant body.
I have not checked yet but I assume the short vascula-bandle has died and roots from body have developed.
This is the 1st flowering of this cactus.
