    Do Lophophoras actually self pollinate?

    If they've been overwintered properly, kept dry and hibernated then most definitely. The plant doesn't have the energy to push the fruit once it's going dormant so it just waits until it gets water sun and warmth.

    Lophophora williamsii x Lophophora fricii

    Great job on following up every day Inyan. Here are mine from that cross, I thought I had grafted one but I went through my grafts and I only found a fricii x koehresii. I might wait until next spring to graft a few of those. They're about 70 days old, sowed on the 1st of August.

    Those fruits most likely came from flowers that opened late last season. Every spring I get tons of fruits from that, before any flower opens.

    Dawson Pasacana x OP

    From the album: MeanGreen's Ethnobotanical Garden

    One of my current favourite grafts, growth is a bit slower than the more common species but well worth it.

    Stapelia gigantea bloom

    From the album: MeanGreen's Ethnobotanical Garden

    This plant has a really interesting strategy for reproduction, its flowers smell like rotten meat and attract all the neighborhood flies, which in turn pollinate the flowers.

    Chasing Sceletium, seeds, cuttings or seedling :)

    Herbalistics has seeds and plants available

    What did you do to your cacti today?

    Just to be clear these are Myrtillocactus geometrizans, not Trichocereus in case you thought they were. They look fairly healthy, since you're going into winter now I would wait until Spring before taking cuttings. Your best bet is probably to order seeds if you can't find Tricho cuttings locally.

    What did you do to your cacti today?

    Very nice Inyan! Yeah I also grow both hybrids Koehres has on offer, fricii x koehresii F2 and williamsii x fricii. Still too small to show anything interesting, I have one of each grafted, about the same.size as yours.

    Blue peru getting freaky with it

    From the album: MeanGreen's Ethnobotanical Garden

    Just separated and repotted these almost sky blue peruvianus seedlings, this guy in the middle is doing some weird rib play and was getting choked by the others. Hoping it goes monstrose.

    Here's a couple grafts of T. pachanoi "Fields" x T. pasacana "Dawson" from SAB, a short spine phenotype and a long spine phenotype (which looks like it might have a couple lime green ribs)

    Looking for someone willing to ship any of these cuts to Europe, I've already imported cacti from Aus with no problems. Just putting it out there, please PM me if you're able to help

    Grafted this baby as a 2 weeks old seedling on the 27th of April. Seeds were from one of my own williamsii, full circle :)

    eBay/Gumtree finds

    Yeah I think things are getting a bit crazy... edit: wow what were the odds I take the screenshot at exactly 5:55 & 55 seconds
  20. MeanGreen

    Can anyone help me ID this plant, please?

    I'd say Crassula sp. (maybe ovata)

    Grafts -Photos & Updates

    Nice thread guys, here's a little timelapse on some seedling grafts I did back in early April. CJ x Sharxx and Clyde x Chalaensis. May 27th: June 27th July 26th (CJ x Sharxx on the far right & Clyde x Chalaensis far left, Rosei 1 x Scop in the middle x2) August 13th The slight variegation on those CJ x Sharxx seedlings is more apparent in this pic August 27th (Clyde x Chalaensis at the back) And here's a tray of grafts I did last week, lots of albino/variegates from Zelly's VRG crosses, will post some updates

    What did you do to your cacti today?

    Nice fruit man, I'd say about a month - month & a half between flower and fruit usually. Got this double fruiting today on my semi cristate:

    Cactus of the month year day thread? Which cactus is really shining for you right now?

    Wow bardo that's a beast, reaching for the skies! This Yowie x Psycho0 stands out for me at the moment, best looking one out of the seedlings I grafted from this cross, a good mix of both parents
