3rdI Posted March 2, 2014 A quick question... May seem very cactus noob of me, but that is sort of exactly what I am so. Does the TBM or any other monstrose forming cactus flower? Or is that generally the issue, they are mutant thus lose sexual organs or become sterile. Like the Liger... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hostilis Posted March 2, 2014 Lots of monstrose plants flower. And the offspring of mutant hybrids usually will yield lots of mutant seedlings. Especially if the mother is the mutant plant, but I have never seen legit documentation of a TBM flowering. I did see a picture of a TBMC trying to flower, but it was super mutated and stalled.

hostilis Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) That's who I was talking about. The pictures I saw wasn't a full flower though. IT was just the beginning stages and I recall it saying that it never opened. If you know where the pictures of it with an open flower are let me know. Edited March 2, 2014 by hostilis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

irabionist Posted March 3, 2014 This is probably the best example of flowering freaks: http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=33453&hl= It's my favourite freak growlog/s Also where is the pic of Kada's tbmc? His site is down...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philocacti Posted March 3, 2014 Kada has a thread on the nook but the pics are also missing, so there's no point of sharing it here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hostilis Posted March 3, 2014 Does it say if it ever opened or not? Because from what i recall he said it was trying to flower and that the flower never fully developed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philocacti Posted March 3, 2014 Here's the original thread, minus the photos http://www.thenook.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=80706&st=0&p=873815&hl=crest&fromsearch=1entry873815 I don't think it fully flowered, I guess the flower bud stalled Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hostilis Posted March 3, 2014 That's still a sign to me that hey have the capability to flower (possibly) I will give 100 dollars to the first person o get some TBM or TBMC pollen. Hehe. jk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
