An ariocarpus hybrid, retusus v furfuraceus cv Suguri cauliflower x fissuratus cv gidzilla was in flower.
It is a 1st filial hybrid. The cactus was grafted once because I wanted to see the result earlier.
The flower colour is between fissuratus and retusus.
A young ariocarpus fissuratus was in flower, which was 1st flowering for the cactus.
I propagated the cactus from seed which was harvested from my cactus.
The cactus is in a 8.5 cm square pot.

The attached photo is one of them.

My friend gave me cactus seeds some years ago. The name tag of seeds said "cauliflower".
Since I wanted to see the appearence and flower earlier, seedlings were grafted.

I assume the cactus is a hybrid, fissuratus x furfuraceus.
