djmattz0r Posted November 25, 2015 I can assure you it's not a graft, looks like a normal bridgesii column then turns into a TBM like growth. Pretty sure it was just purchased as a 'semi-monstrose' bridgesii. These are the only other pics I had of it. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Myeloblast Posted November 26, 2015 Whole crop of variegated Astrophytum seedlings...probably 75% variegation and 25% that lack all chlorophyll From cross of myriostigma cv. kikko nudum variegata X myrio cv. hakujo fukuryu Hopefully I'll have plenty of seed from this cross available next season for a giveaway...already pressed for space as it is 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zelly Posted November 27, 2015 looks like a normal bridgesii column then turns into a TBM like growth imho it just didnt turn into TBM like growth on its own, look at the reduced girth and scarring at the top of the normal growth. more than likely that particular stem will remain monstrous, but new pups from the base will be normal growth 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMG_20150910_114849.jpg IMG_20150910_120826.jpg I have seen penis cactus throw normal/semi montrose pups, this could possibly be one of those that has reverted to penis growth? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djmattz0r Posted November 29, 2015 I will be interested to see what it does, as I have seen normal bridgesii get melty from stress like a small pot but not a full blown TBM looking top. I think it may have terminated so the top will probably pup from the lone aerole. I will keep y'all updated on progress but it'll be slow since it is probably dormant now 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sallubrious Posted December 15, 2015 I've never been lucky enough to grow a dichotomous Loph from seed either. I imagine they'd go crazy over that on ebay in a few years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
