Cactus / Astrophytum hybrid

This small grafted plant is an Astrophytum hybrid, capricorne v niveum x asterias cv super kabuto. This is a F1 hybrid, collected seeds from my plant. I sowed seeds on 28/08/2010 and grafted 2 seedlings.
The attached photo is one of them.

Cactus / buiningii

This is Ubelmannia buiningii HU141.
I bought seeds and sowed on 31/08/2006 and grafted seedlings.
This plant is in flower from spring to autumn repeatedly.
I tried to get seeds but failed several times.
2 years ago, I found a crossing method to meet this plant and could get seeds. Seeds are very fine and seedlings also very small.
I have quite many small seedlings and have to replant next spring.

Cactus / replanting

I replant cactus seedlings in spring normally.
I did replanting of asterias seedlings 3 days ago as an experimental trial.
Almost all seedlings are germinated from sown seeds in December last year.
I replant 25 seedlings in a 10 cm square pot, in total 6 pots.
I am not sure how seedlings would move from now to winter but the temperature in a greenhouse on today is 32 'C. It is warm enough.
The attached photo is one of them, Astrophytum varigated asterias.

Cactus / retusus v elongatus

This is Ariocarpus retusus v elongatus.
The appearance is very similar to torigonas.
I bought seeds and sowed on 31/08/2006 and grafted young seedlings.
I have 2 plants currently and can collect seeds from these plants.
Recently both of plants were in flower and I crossed them.
I expect to get seeds next late spring.

Cactus / retusus jarmilae

I bought seeds and sowed 31/08/2006.
I grafted very young seedlings and several plants have remained.
They are in flower ery year in this season.
I have collected seeds and keep quite many own-root sedlings aslo.
Retusus has many variations and hard to judge them from the appearance.

Sactus / retusus v scapharostroides

Cactus / hernandezii

It is not flowering season in here but several cactus are in flower.
A grafted Mammillaria hernandezii was in flower yeaterday. This cacti should be in flower early spring. I assume this one made misjudge the season. I will cut pups in spring and will increase numbers.
