Yeah they're somewhat related I think, although they're probably not the closest cousins. They really do look like small lophs with long nails like spines.
Lophophora jourdaniana is thought to be an interspecific hybrid with Turbinicarpus.
One thing worth noting about this plant is its absolutely hilarious current scientific name:
Turbinicarpus schmiedickeanus (pronounced [shuv' my dick in ya anus])

No, this is a very basic water extraction. I started with fresh material, steeped in the sun for 2 days as per the traditional fermentation method. After which I filtered, reduced the liquid and evaporated it. These lattices formed on top of the gooey layer during evaporation, over the course of 48h.
This is what the end result looks like, a tacky not very far in texture from good pressed hash. It has a very strong flowery smell, somewhat reminiscent of indole for whatever reason.

These are very short lived, 24h later and there's not much left of this flower.

Beautiful! Really well done man, any earlier pics of it? Wondering if it looked like a crest before

Nice one mate! Just recently learned this var. alba even existed, definitely gonna put some this year alongside the orange ones.
Can you confirm they are perennial L. leonurus?

Haha looks amazing! You grafted all those areoles, right?

Jokes aside that's fucking gorgeous mate, I love how you did those planters and the plan to keep species separate. Those TBM hedges are gonna be crazy in a few years.
Edit: did you break the bottom of the clay pots and buried the rootball, or just buried the whole thing?

Awesome job, please keep us posted on this one! I'm very interested in seeing how it will develop and what the pup(s) end up looking like.

Amen to that

Lovely babies! What are the mutants from?

I'd go with var. "Skellum Uncut" or var. "Skellfukum" (aka Skullfuckem)

That's a good idea, I can definitely sacrifice a flower to give it a shot. I asked the seller if the plant pollinates itself, we'll see what he says.
Here's another piece of the same plant:

True but the window is short and the pollen is ready as soon as the flower opens it seems like. So removing the anthers without any pollen hitting the pistil is pretty difficult imo. Worth a try though, for sure, but hard to tell if the cross was successful or not.
-
Not a bad idea, I do have a flowering caespitosa I could try this with. Provided this one isn't self-pollinating that is. I'm seeing many dried flowers but no pods remnants so fingers crossed (no pun intended)

Gorgeous little spiny beast

Sounds like an interesting cross, curious to see what comes out of it.

I think you're right, I'm just pretty surprised because I don't remember it looking pale/albino when I grafted it, I think it was just the healthiest of the bunch.
Grafting is amazing, I definitely understand your passion for it Inyan.
Here are its neglected siblings as of today, what a difference!
And the same grafts back in October:

It was pointed out to me it's actually a Polaskia chichipe, it did fool me though

@InyanIf you like blue check-out what I found at my local supermarket this morning for 1.9€
This puppy is so glaucous it's literally grey/white at the base:

Haha completely unintentional... or was it?
I'll think about the mams (or a couple hairy lophs) next time I snap one of those
