How many clones do you have WB? Many are self sterile. Not all, but many are.

I have a couple of self fertile ones if you would like me to toss some cuts your way? They are getting a bit unruly & need a bit of a tidy up before the girls have a go at me to do it anyways.

This is the only one/type I have, as far as I know its not "elite" or anything.

Its not growing in the little pot if anyone is thinking so, its just a limb growing over the pot :wink:

It was a sort of accidental plant for me, but in the end I really like the shape/aesthetics of the plant,

and now pretty impressed flower wise. If it fruits for me I will guard it well.

I dunno if self fertile or not, fingers crosssed on this one Shortly. I cannot even remember where

I sourced it from. I think Its from a few small cuttings that were put in with some trich cuts a while back.

Someone my see this and recall back.

No scent I am aware of yet Amz, I think it may be a day or two before fully opening I'll check again later today.

That said the flower has grown out with explosive speed compared to what I usually see on cacti.

2 days ago it formed the start of the tiny flower bud, I was "...thats a bit different", lol...then ah OK flower time.

Yes please Shortly :) I'll PM ya mate. Would be good to have something about known self-fertile.
