Hana's cacti

[Hanazono]

I introduce 2 Astrophytum hybrids created by myself.
The base species is super kabuto.
Unfortunately body sizes are quite small, just 55 mm both of them.
I assume the hybridization affects on their sizes.

2nd filial (coahuilence x super kabuto) x super kabuto


1st filial senile x super kabuto
I tried to make a species with dark green body covered over white flecking.

I can only see the first photo, but it's enough to amaze me. Maybe the small size correlates to the fact that the photosynthetic surface is greatly reduced?

More flowers,
Pelecyphora aselliformis

[jfabiao]

Wow! Are those Pelecyphora degrafts? If so, are they easy to root?

[Hanazono]

Yes they are all degrafted and rooted.
Rooting is quite easy if scions were more than 3 cm in diameter.

I did the cross-pollination with these 2 species yesterday.
