MrXeric's flowers and things

Epithelantha chihuahuensis. I cross pollinated several flowers from each plant, but only one plant produced a fruit (with only 2 seeds!)

That is not a lot, but usually the fruit only contains 5-7 seeds, maybe 8 or 9 if you are really lucky!

Yeah, I wonder if small number of seeds is due to inefficient pollinating on my part? Another member on the forum previously mentioned that Epithelantha flowers may have a particular time of day when the anthers/stigmas release or accept pollen. Something for me to figure out I suppose.
At least both seeds germinated and are growing well!
