I have enough numbers of matured own-rooted plants for the collection of seeds.
The photo is a remained grafted one, only one remained.

Cactus / grusonii
I can see Echinocactus grusoniis after winter weeds died out.
They were covered over by weeds during winter time.
I sowed seeds in 2000 and started to be in flower from last year.
It is around 60 cm diameter.

Cactus / variegated asterias
A grafted variegated asterias was in flower yesterday.
It was 2nd flowering in this season.
The degree of the variegation is changed along the growing of the plant but this one is keeping acceptable balance.

Cactus / asterias
A reddish flower on the yellow body shows a clear contrast.
The scion was well balanced variegation when it was grafted but yellow area was increased gradually.
It is completely yellow body currently. I hope the green parts come back one day.

Flowers of Discocactus has nice scent and open at night.
