Could be the first for my greenhouse. First try at pollination. Outside, nature does it. :)

Snowfella, That is interesting! I have never actually seen a Schlumbergera fruit before. Neat! Good luck with the seeds!

Only 2 out of the 6 or so I have seem to set fruits, not really sure of they are selfing or crossing with eachother. Suck at growing from seed though so I'm likely never going to find out. The pictured one has 10 or so fruits now while the other one only has a single fruit.

Interesting!

EDIT: I hope I didn't mess up your post that I quoted! I accidentally hit the wrong button before and edited your post - I think it's fixed though :oops:
