kadakuda Posted April 2, 2008 Here are semo pictures of Lophophora fricii crossed with Lophophora koehresii. Male was fricii female was koehresii. Daddy. seed grown L. fricii 9 cm. mommy, with flowers and fruits of this breeding. grafted L. koehresii 9 cm. batch one (the koehresii has 4 more fruits coming from the same breeding). March 01 2008 April 02 2008 i have 20 that i am growing as seedlings, but they still look like.....nothing..... i will update as things grow. I have also tried breeding a Astrophytum asterias Hanazono with another koehresii...just for fun...i don't expect anything though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garbage Posted April 2, 2008 Maybe a sharply defined hexagonal rib structure? Are those brown spines common with grafted Williamsii? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teonanacatl Posted April 3, 2008 (edited) nice i had some of the same cross, will be good to see how yours turn out. Spines are normal. Edited April 3, 2008 by teonanacatl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lachy Posted April 3, 2008 Nice work. I'll be curious to see how those babies grow up. Have you got any seedlings grown on their own roots that we could see for comparison? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kadakuda Posted April 3, 2008 yes, 20 i am keeping as seed grown. but they look no different from any other loph seedling and are still only a couple mm. Teo, what did yours end up looking like? got any pics? what were the flowers like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kadakuda Posted June 4, 2008 here they are tonight. excuse the water, it has been raining heavily for about 2 weeks straight now despite over 80 cm of rain, they still push on strong! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kadakuda Posted June 5, 2008 thanks they are growing very well and dont mind being rained on all day everyday! i moved them today though because i figured enough is enough....now they only get splashed on i forgot to mention they are in the 2-3 cm range now i think. its time to start thinking about regrafting to myrtle...once its sunny again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teotzlcoatl Posted June 5, 2008 What about degrafting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kadakuda Posted June 5, 2008 yes, i will do that as well in time. its WAY too wet to be doing anything with a knife right now its so humid even a graft left inside will rot i cant wait to see flowers....i will race ya! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teotzlcoatl Posted June 5, 2008 I bet you'll beat me to flowers! We'll see tho! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hellonasty Posted June 9, 2008 Looks like this will be a very nice form. Congrats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ENtiTY Posted June 9, 2008 I agree with nasty, lovely form! Do keep this thread updated with pics as they progress Great work and thanx for sharing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kadakuda Posted June 9, 2008 i hope so. so far i cannot really tell them apart from same sized fricii grafts....but the father is fricii and usually the males traits are more prominent. who knows.....what i am excited about is the flower!!!! cant wait!

Teotzlcoatl Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) I'm planning on putting mine on a Trichocereus pachanoi graft after it out-grows it current root-stock. Or maybe I'll degraft it.... I donno... What do you guys think would be best? I have a Myrtillocactus geometrizans I could graft it to instead of the Trichocereus pachanoi... Think that's better?
