Cross pollinated . . .

[Cereusly]

. . . Astrophytum asterias and Leuchtenbergia principis yesterday . . . hopefully it was successful. Cereusly, Tony

I've seen Astrobergias before, so it must be possible. Let's hope it's successful!

[gemhunter178]

I never knew that was possible! That's going to be quite a hybrid!

So are Ferobergia,Thelobergia, Ariobergia. Will you try that aswell?

[Cereusly]

If they bloom at the same time . . . I'll give it a try.

When the result will be clear. let me know who the mother is.

Just today I found out my little experiment of artificial pollination was successful. A proud mother Astrophytum capricorne var. senile gave birth to multiples. A proud father is Astrophytum capricorne var. crassispinum nudum.

It's nothing like cross pollination in your case, but it was my first attempt.

[Tony]

Would love to get me hands on some of that seed if it works.
My leuchtys and astros are all growing right next to each other, but are not cooperating.

[Cereusly]

Tony, if this happens I'll send you some seeds. Cereusly!

[Saxicola]

I didn't realize you could cross those genera. Learned something new today! This gives me an interesting idea. Leuchtenbergia X Astrophytum caput-medusae! The hard part is finding that Astrophytum.

[Cereusly]

Saxicola, now that would be an interesting cross.

[Peterthecactusguy]

wow that would be pretty interesting.
