Ariocarpus retusus v jarmilaes were in flower.

G'morning ossy96,

It is still alive? Very interesting hybrid! If it flowers you could make a nice cultivar!

3 hybrids are still alive but I have never seen their flowers yet.

5 1st filial ariocarpus hybrids were in flower, which were quite young, 5 years old.
The hybrid is retusus v furfuraceus cv Suguri cauliflower x fissuratus cv godzilla. I tryied to make an ariocarpus which had long tubercles with fissuratus texture.

Some ariocarpus retusus cv Daruma Royals were in flower.

The last one has never been grafted which is showing the original character of cultivar.

Ariocarpus trigonus related species were in flower.

Some ariocarpus retusus v furfuraceus were in flower in this morning.
They were propagated from seeds of cv Suguri cauliflower but they could not show the cauliflower character.

10 out of 24 scions, Ariocarpus fissuratus cv Godzilla were in flower yesterday. The photo is one of them.

Some ariocarpus retusus cv Shinkawa Tamazouge were in flower.
