It looks like there is plenty of pollen left in them flowers. It would be awesome to see you cross some named clones with that lovely pink flowering specimen.. and then send me some seeds :) I can send you a paint brush... please :)

Thanks mate, I have'nt seen anyone else talk of Norma flowering for them, thats not to say it has'nt happened. Have not seen Heb's post in a while... big thanks to him for his good work there.

Certainly going to try & pollinate her have a few others opening tonight aswell so will try & knock some up with her aswell & cross my fingers.

My validus flower is finally opening :)

When cross pollinating is it best to use a fine paint brush or just a Cotten bud?

I get the pollen into a ziplock bag, by first rustling it out of the flower, and then I take a steak knife to scoop little bits of the pollen out and onto various parts of the other flower's stigma - with a pointy knife you can basically drop a little clump of pollen right in the opening. Using cotton swaps you wind up with more pollen trapped in the swab than on the stigma.

Thanks nitrogen, I ended up using one of my gf's new fine makeup brushes last night, I will use your method with the small amount of pollen i have left tonight when the other flower opens , I'll let u know how they go.

So, Martin flowered this weekend, unfortunately I was out of Aucks and missed it until it was half closed so I didn't take pics.

Definitely a huge flower, almost the size of a dinner plate when fully open.

Good news though, many other trich flowers opened at the same time, so there's a high chance it was pollinated. Also, there's another bud, so if the warm weather holds up we could have another flower in a few weeks.

Hi Spine collector.

Yes I too agree with you. Gardening, landscaping, growing plants and lately focusing on cactus has given me alot of healing, peace , patience, harmony and wisdom.

I respect them alot and give them alot of time,

plants heal the soul.

look forward to seeing your photos when your cactus bloom.

=)

hey you fuckers

are your trichocerei protected from watering in winter ( I mean the real winter, not your summer :P )

I was wondering if trichocerei like some winter rest in order to flower or at least resulting in more flowers next season, as several real cacti do

apparently i read somewhere and also had the experience. If a tricho doesnt get much direct sun in winter periods. The as sun rises in sky in spring and it gets direct sun. It stimulates seasonal response and flowering.

as far as water goes. I dont water trichos in winter. But they do get rainned on. And they havent rotted or anything. they do fine.

how cold are your winters? like snow ?

[talking about roof] winters are mild and my trichocerei, and other columnars get rained all winter, even real cacti like Ferocacti, Rebutias, Echinopsis, even Astrophytum myriostigma!

so mine haven't flowered because I keep chopping them up, it will come in time!
