Day 16 Lophophora williamsii x Lophophora fricii I love to see hybrid pictures @bardo so please feel welcome to share anytime on this thread if you so desire.

Your giant specimens look much larger than my seedlings and they aren't even grafted. Great job getting these up to this size on their own roots so fast. Looks like you had greater than 50% germination rate as well which for this cross? Excellent results my friend!

As small as that specimen is, I might forego grafting and just remove any normal pieces of growth for a bit. The reason I say this is that when I have grafted newly turned crested specimens or even older ones for that matter, they do often revert back to normal form for a bit. How long that bit is seems to vary from a few weeks, to months, or even longer. Of course, you could also graft a small piece of your new mutant to something and check out that property right away. Just leave the majority of your crested specimen intact.

Lophophora williamsii x Lophophora fricii day 10 As you can see, this go round the grafts are being a little slow to take off, but I suspect any day now there will be a leap in growth. Not to detract from this thread... I'll add in another pretty . This one is a Lophophora jourdaniana.

@TheMooseZeus I planted mine directly in the ground so that is kind of cheating. I watered it daily however. Ground was mostly sand as I planted my BHWR on a small island. Again, I call it cheating when the conditions are that good. Definitely think of upsizing the pot though as my suspicion is the pot may be too small.

I don't know about some plants, but I know my BHWR flowered and set seed as soon as it reached the top of the tree which for me took 2 seasons as I started late if memory serves.

Looks like all you need are some high quality seeds to graft now that you have started collecting your grafting stock already.

This is the first I have heard of this, but after a brief search for Trichocereus and seeing much san pedro on ebay I am a bit perplexed. As concerns paypal, I know some very nice Trichocereus hybridizers that utilize paypal for sale of cacti as well as seeds. Do you think those will be affected as well. Any links to this information on either? Sorry if all of this is common knowledge, but I don't do most social networking platforms outside of forums like this.

Death ceremonies and rituals are something that definitely interest me. And as a cultural views collide it seems more and more interesting options are coming to surface. Fantasy Coffins are another option I like.

@Gimli Frosty Pink was one of my first Brugmansia. While Frosty Pink is not as fragrant as Jamaican Yellow or Isabella, I have Frosty Pink to thank for many of my early hybrids. She is an exceptional seed setter.
