Some scions have continued to grow vigorously.
The photo is an Ariocarpus retusu v furfuraceus cv daruma-seiji, 7 cm in diameter taken photo in this afternoon.
You may refer to photos posted on 14th Dec 2014 and on 11th Jan 2015.
These are same plant.

May I ask where you get your seeds from? I want some of these cultivars.

I harvested all seeds from my own cacti.

Hanazono character appears on a mature plant normally but this one has sown already.

Growing well! And how is the monstrose astrophytum?

G'day snarfie
I understand you mean "Astrophytum myriostigma monstrose".
Here is the updated photo.
The width of body is 6 cm currently.
Hanazono

Cool crest! Looks a little like my monstrose gymnocalycium.

Very cool looking! Looks a bit like a traffic light.

The original species of mostrose is a Japanese cultivar, Astrophytum myriostigma v nudum cv red-bean kikkou, khoyo.
The cactus turns body color in red between winter to spring. It returns to normal green in summer. (khoyo)
When the cactus reached a mature age, the shape of ribs turns like tortoise shell. (kikkou)
The scion is still 1 year old and I have to wait a while to see the kikkou character.

Wow, that's a real beauty!

Updated photos
Although scions have continued to grow, stocks have started to loose leaves due to too strong sunlight and a luck of humidity.

Those are beautiful, as usual.

When you say "lack of humidity", do you mean atmospheric humidity or water at the roots? I'm asking because leaf loss in Pereskiopsis is a mystery I'd love to solve and prevent in the future...

I mean "water at roots".
If you could keep potting-mix as wet continuously, Pereskiopsis can keep leaves longer.
