Cactus / jarmilae

The photo is a grafted Ariocarpus retusus v jarmilae MM110, was in flower yesterday.
I bought 25 seeds and sowed on 31st August 2006.
Several young seedlings were grafted.
I have still kept them for the purpose of seed harvesting.

Cactus / furfuraceus

A degrafted Ariocarpus retusu v furfuraceus was in flower in the afternoon.
I sowed seeds on 2nd October 2010 and grafted 2 dozens of very young seedlings on Pereskiosis stocks.
They were degrafted with short stocks in 2012.
The plant in the photo is one of them.

Cactus / fissuratus

The photo is an other Ariocarpus fissuratus f Big Bend, was in flower this afternoon.
I grafted a pup on an Echinopsis stock some years ago.
The stock has turned to a woody appearance but it seems still alright.

Cactus / retusus

I bought seeds of Ariocarpus retusus cv mitsibo (tri-fingers) and sowed on 11th August 2005.
Several young seedlings were grafted.
This is one of them.
It is told that the character of the tri-fingers will appear when the plant was a mature age.
I have waited long time for the change but it seems no hope.
The plant is in flower in this season every year.

Cactus / bicolor

An other Ariocarpus, retusus v bicolor n. prov. KMR61 was in flower yesterday.
I bought 10 seeds and sowed on 31st August 2006.
Several young seedlings were grafted.
I have still kept them for the harvesting seeds.

Cactus / fissuraus

This one has been in my greenhouse a quire while.

I bought seeds of Ariocarpus fissuratus f Big Bend and sowed on 31st October 2003.
I grafted several young seedlings on Hylocereus stocks.
I degrafted them in 2007 when the scions grew as large enough.
Since you can not cut the part of fissuratus body because it is hard to stop liquid running out from cutting face, a short vascular bandle of the stock was remained.
I assume the plant relies on own-roots at moment.

The daylight time has been shorter and Aiocarpus have caught the early autumn up, I think.

Cactus / super kabuto

This summer was abnormal. There were 13 days which the temperature of day time exceeded 40 C' in this summer.
It seems the scorcher summer has finished and morning and evening feel a bit cool now.
Astrophytum asterias have still been in flower.
The photo is a super kabuto propagated from a seed.
This super kabuto shows a special character on its areolae.
