Cactus / fissuratus

 An ariocarus fissuratus was in flower

I harvested seeds from my cacti and sowed in 2007. 5 plants sown seeds in same time have suevived.

One of them was in flower,  which body was 12 cm in diameter.

Cactus / trigonus

 A degrafted Ariocarpus trigonus was in flower.

I bought 20 seeds and sowed in 2005. The germination rate of seeds was very good. Almost all of them have survived fortunately

The cactus is in a 12.5 cm square pot.

Cactus / Daruma Royal

 A matured Ariocarpus retusus v furfuraceus cv Daruma Royal was in flower.

This cactus was grafted once and so it became a large block. It relies on own-roots currently.

I bought seeds and sowed in 2004.

Cactus / variegated asterias

 I removed shadecloth covered over greenhoues which was the setting for autumn to spring.

Although it is in autumn, this change gives flowering for some Astrophytum species.

The photo is one of them, a variegated asterias.

Cactus / jarmilae

 An ariocarpus retusus v jarmilae MM110 was in flower.

I bought 25 seeds and sowed in 2006. The germination rate of seed was quite good.

The cactus has grown well, 15 cm in diameter currently.

Cactus / confusus

 An ariocarpus trigonus v confusus was in flower which was 1st flowering of the cactus.

My friend gave me 6 young seedlings and aske me to graft 4 years ago. All of them were taken well.

I retuned 3 of them to him. I degrafted and rooted 3 my scions 2 years ago.

Cactus / retusus

 A matured Ariocarpus retusus which is oldest and largest retusus in my place was in flower.

I bought seeds and sowed in 2003. A very young seedling was grafted and degrafted later.

It relies on own-roots currently but the character of grafted scion is still remained, which is hairy body.
