Dodie Posted October 3, 2005 My scop has just started to show signs that shes about to throw of a flower or two. Does anyone have any pollen to match? How long can i expect her to finally open up, ive just noticed in the past week that shes going to throw of some buds.. I also have a unknown Trich/Echinopsis? That is well on her way to flowering...i'll post some pics once they are there.. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foolsbreath Posted October 5, 2005 Yeah my scop looks like shes throwing some fluffy bits, probably different genetics from yours too, i'd say, so, if you want we can do a swap ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rev Posted October 11, 2005 yeah me too my scops set to flower this season not as interested in getting pollen but will give pollen and gladly recieve some seeds if it takes its a seedling so will def X with all of yours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dodie Posted December 2, 2005 Wow, how tall is that scop darcy? Is there one bud per rib? That looks cool... Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Cadaver Posted December 2, 2005 It's about a foot high, was the top of those cuttings you bought. I didn't think the flowers were going to hang on but they must have enough roots down now with all the rain. It's a part of my mexican fence Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bongchitis Posted December 16, 2005 Sorry to Hijack but no need to start a new thread. This scop has over 50 flowers on it atm. PM me if interested in some pollen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dodie Posted December 16, 2005 Ah bummer Darcy. This was my 2nd pollination attempt and i dont think it worked, do the flowers normally stay on for awhile if it is successful? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ferret Posted December 16, 2005 Here's that scop X bridg cross I did with ferrets pollen. It's about 2 weeks old now and hanging on. :D nice one darcy , what time of the day did you apply the pollen, soon as she opened? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dodie Posted January 12, 2006 cant wait to see what the plants look like... :D well done.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Cadaver Posted January 15, 2006 I'm just doing some germination tests now and will probably give some seeds away soon as i seem to have over 1500 from that fruit ^_^, I just put down 100 and it didn't make a dent in the number. Hopefully the seedlings have the nice thick scop skin with some blue new growth and scattered long spines and some good chemistry, who knows but they'll be a lot of variation i'm sure.

Happy Cadaver Posted January 17, 2006 well, they're definently viable, i've had 4 pop up this morning and should have a lot more by tomorrow morning pretty quick too, only 4 days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dodie Posted January 17, 2006 Nice work Darcy. Are you going to propagate more plants then sell them through your store? I would like to buy some seeds but i dont trust myself enough to get them to a decent size, I'd rather buy them at a hardy size... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Cadaver Posted January 17, 2006 i'll probably put up the seeds shortly for those keen and established seedlings once their big enough to send in 6-12months, whenever they're ready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dodie Posted January 20, 2006 Has this hybrid been done before? If not couldnt you register it as a cultivar? Have PBR for ten years and all that jazz..Recieve money from each plant sold.. and acknowledgement ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Cadaver Posted January 20, 2006 I haven't seen it mentioned as being produced before. I don't want to go down the PBR path at this stage for any plant, it'd have to be a pretty special beast. LEt's say i pick a scopXbridge monstrose out of the batch, that may be worth it just to get a name on it. But apart from that and any unusual beasts, it's really only for the benefit of ethno peoples that i've crossed the two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
