Some ariocarpus species were in flower yesterday afternoon.

G'morning xiaohuage123,

jarmilaes is a man?

Honestly I do not know the exact meaning of "jarmilae". Since "Jarmila" is a Slavic origin female given name, jarmilae is not a man, I think.
Some one of this forum member may be able to tell the exact meaning.

Flowers of ariocarpus species came back yesterday afternoon.

Small ariocarpus species were in flower yesterday afternoon.

I post two photos of ariocarpus species today. 1st photo is a retusus cv duo-fingers.

An ariocarpus kotschoubeyanus v elephantideus was in flower. I have kept some other kotschoubeyanus related species but only this one was in flower.

Some ariocarpus fissuratus were in flower.

Ariocarpus retusus shown on attached photos were propagated from seeds which were given by my friend as "retusus cv cauliflower".
Unfortunately these cacti do not show the character of cauliflower at all. The colour of flower is also abnormal.

Some ariocarpus retusus were in flower. One of them was 2nd flowering in this season.

Yesterday was a good sunshine day and some Astrophytum species were in flower in the afternoon.

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.
