Cactus / hintonii

This is a grafted Aztekium hintonii.
Seeds of Aztekium hintonii are very small and seedlings are also. I graft very young seedling, around 1 month old seedling which is around 2 mm diameter. The seedling of hintonii needs for 1 year to reach to 2 mm diameter.
1 year old seedling is harder than that of 1 month and needs a special grafting method to increase the success ratio.
I just have 2 plants grown from seedling graftings. I have seen several flowering buds coming out this plant but they have never opened yet.
