 3 ariocarpus fissuratus v intermedius were in flower in this morning.

Cactus / asterias

 An old astrophytum asterias was in flower yesterday afternoon.

I propagated the cactus from seed, about 20 years old.

The best looking age of asterias is around 10 years old.

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.

Since it was grafted once, the body is quite large but all descndants are small plants.

Cactus / astrophytum hybrid

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

The current size is 11 cm in diameter.

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

I bought seeds and sowed in 2004.

4 plants have survived,

Cactus / fissuratus

Normal own-rooted fissuratus is around 10 cm in diameter but the cactus on the photo is 17 cm in diameter.

The grafting affects the size of body.

Cactus / godzilla

 I have kept 35 degrafted ariocarpus fissuratus cv godzilla in total.

One of them was in flower in this morning. 

Seeds were given by my friend, which were sown in 2018.

Seedlings were grafted, and degrafted in 2020.

Cactus / astrophytum hybrid

 A 1st filial astrophytu hybrid, capricorne x super kabuto was in flower yesterday afternoon.

It will be the last flower of astrophytum species in this season.

It is still quite hot in this year but I could see some ariocarpus species soon.
