Pelecyphora hybrids
Posted: Thu Oct 15, 2020 6:18 pm
Hello,
I have a few Pelecyphora (=Encephalocarpus) strobiliformis plants, but only one is flowering size. This spring I pollinated it, but with Pelecyphora aselliformis pollen.
I've just harvested what appears to be normal seed from the cross. Of course, just having seed, doesn't mean they are viable....
I'm unable to find online references to this hybrid being possible, although I'm sure others must have tried it. I've only had this Pelecyphora strobiliformis in my collection for two years....maybe this is a normal cross from before my time with the plant? I'll certainly try to reconstruct the hybrid in the future!
