Nice. I only have 4 astros at the time. And my in-laws have 2 more. But it is my intention to get some more as soon as posibile. (I only have to wait the man from nursery I buy cacti come home from vacation).

I have several on my want list:

And some more. But especially those two I would like to get. Hope he have them.

Cultivating Astrophytum is very interesting.
Now I have built a germinator and I'm pollinating species to sow.

Interesting links in the two hybrids

Will you "cook" something as notorious as that red flowered. If you will....I want some.
