Cactus / alonsoi

 A degrafted turbinicarpus alonsoi was in flower in the afternoon.

To harvest seeds earlier, several seedlings were grafted. This is one of them.

Cactus / astrophytum hybrid

 An astrophytum hybrid, hakujo fukuryu banjyaku was in flower yesterday afternoon.

Since the hybridization affects the size, I can not expect the cactus to gain size more.
