AZS Posted May 19, 2014 I missed most opportunities for pollination but somehow the insects did it for me - so far I have hundreds of seeds from this year - some possible hybrids - should be interesting to grow them out. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djmattz0r Posted May 19, 2014 That makes sense, I was wondering about the spines.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philocacti Posted May 21, 2014 They're coming along nicely Are these spines normal on superkabuto young seedlings? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hellonasty Posted June 26, 2014 Snagged this lil fella yesterday: IMG_20140518_131328.jpg I believe it to be a Astrophytum Myriostigma cv FUKURYU Not sure exactly what it is but I was told it was FUKURYU at least, if anyone knows more about the specific cultivars please enlighten me [edit: spelling] All of these are type of cultivars are extremely complex as far as genetic lines go, I would simply call it Astrophytum CV Fukuryu (which means extra ribs/extra rib formation). Quite a nice looking plant it should breed well with Ornatum and Myriostigma. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zed240 Posted January 10, 2015 What. The. Fuck. does this astro graft of mine think it's doing? The size of a 5c piece and it's pushing out a flower bud.... 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hostilis Posted January 11, 2015 One of my many variegated A. asterias seedlings. I cut all but 1 pup off and grafted them onto other stocks. Unfortunately I didn't think of the fact that it would leave a huge surface area of open wound on the plant. The plant dried out pretty bad, but I think it's okay now. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
