Cactus / asterias

I have not seen rain a while.
We need rain.
The photo is A. asterias.
I think the plant is going to reach a mature age and shows some Hanazono characters.

Cactus / alonsoi

This is a degrafted Turbinicarpus alonsoi.
Alonsoi is in flower many times through spring to autumn.
It seems alonsoi is possible inter-generic hybridization with Ariocarpus.
I will try it in coming autumn.

Cactus / denegrii

Seedlings of Obregonia denigrii grow very slowly.
I bought seeds and sowed on 28/09/2005.
The photo is one of seedlings, around 7 cm diameter.
They started flowering last year.
More than 10 plants have survived and so I have been able to collect seeds from my plants.

Cactus / super kabuto

Super kabutos show various appearances because of frequent crossings in history.
This one shows large fleckings and starfish shape.

Cactus / Onzuka

Astrophytum myriostigma cv Onzuka rampos were in flower agin.
I did cross pollination.
I have tried to regain numdrs of Onzuka.

Cactus / myriostigma

This is an Astrophytum myriostigma v nudum cv khoyo.
I bought seeds and sowed on 08/10/2003.
Young seedlings were grafted and derafted  after grow to flowering size.
Khoyo turns body color during juvenil but stops turning body color when the plant was a mature age.
This one is a mature age plant but it shows a hint of khoyo character.

A super kabuto, a typical starfish shape was in flower yeserday.
The maximum temperature was 42 C' and was hard to go outside of the house in the afternoon.
