I'd call it chlorophyl deficient at the very least and from the looks of it you should be able to maintain that type true to form. However, I also note a little darker green areas so... technically variegated.

Here you go a little later then my friend. Picture taken today

You are a skilled grafter my friend. I love seeing your work. Keep those photos coming.

To say you have a winner here would simply be such an understatement. Congrats my friend on not only this one of a kind specimen, but on the many beautiful grafts I have seen come from your hands.

I do believe you have the perfect gift box there.

I'm thinking everyone is going to want a piece of Skellum's penis if this one keeps developing like she's going. Keep us posted on the regular.

Saran wrap method. I've used this method as well, but it is not my favorite method for seedlings 1-2 weeks of age. For larger seedlings... absolutely fine though. Great job though my friend.

Interesting genetics there for sure.

I'm a big fan of anything blue so please allow me to drool a bit.

Sweet collection you landed yourself there.

Is this one really that fat or are we just dealing with tiny hands? Either way, that specimen looks sweet with that dark green and minimalistic look to its spines.

This little baby
gets an update today as some of the plants in the seedling house got bit by frost
.

You've got those seedlings popping. Those stock plants have plenty of room to stretch out their roots.

Sadly, this is indeed one of lost labelled babies, but she has the strongest thickest spines out of any seedling I have at this stage which is saying something considering I have an entire green house filled with seedlings around this age.

And here she is again just 10 days later. I've got a feeling this one is going to be a super freak.

I've never blown a cacti before to pollinate it, but I bet it might work. I usually just gingerly place a bit via a cotton q-tip or paint brush myself. Stroking the stigma with the pollen until she is nice and coated.

Please tell me you collected the pollen and froze some for later use at the very least. Any interesting pollen to apply to this bad girl?

An update on this little freak. It is growing exceedingly slow despite my super soaking it in heavy fertilizer. Winter... what can I say.

An update on this fellow. As you can see, there is some growth due to the fact that I fertilize in the Winter, but the cold has slowed down growth dramatically.
-
And the resulting babies from this cross should have been stunning in similar shades to both parents. Any pictures?

You are making me crave some Iboga fruit smoothies.

Variegated: yay or nay?

Some of my best variegate seedlings came from seedlings I honestly had no idea were variegated until after they had been grafted for a few weeks and started back that rapid growth phase... i.e. approximately 3-4 weeks after being grafted. You have quite a collection my friend. No doubt due to your own ability to graft so well you will continue to have one of a kinds for propagation. What I like about variegates such as this... they make excellent parents for more variegated cacti. Crossing a variegate with a crested form... you'd hope to see some crested variegates, crests, and just plain variegates in the mix. How can you go wrong with that combination? Fast forward the whole project by grafting and you could have crested variegates bred to monstrous forms in a very short time... and the madness continues.
