Anyone blooming?

[downwardsfromzero]

I've got a bud soon to open on my Gymnocalycium bruchii soon to open, hoping to post pics when a flower appears!

Finally got round to uploading my pics. The bloom has finished now, but it opened up in the afternoons and closed again at night for about a week.

Very nice pics Hostilis!

I have 3 scops about to flower.. no saved pollen from other past flowers so hope to pollinate them with each other and get true to form scop seeds! they might all be from the same mother plant so i'm not sure if they will produce viable seeds or not. anyone know>?

 

[hostilis]

If the plants are from the same clone then they wont produce seeds from what I hear. Good luck though!

Flower #2 opened today on my first seed grown peyote to flower. Pretty sweet. There are also some echinocereus, neoporteria, mammillaria, and ortegocactus flowers on the way. They are all just still forming buds though. Will update with photos when they come.

Beautiful flower, Hostilis! And I love the ribs on that specimen. I once had one that was almost identical in appearance, but unfortunately I was not very experienced yet and it decomposed after it was degrafted.

Mammillaria theresae flowering.

Some beautiful stuff here, guys and girls.

I'm planning on planting my own when I move in a couple of months. I love the idea of a trip 6 years in the making, but I'm also thinking I might not be able to cut it down when the moment comes. I guess plant many, ingest few.

3rd flower on my seed grown, grafted loph.

Echinocereus veichenbachii var. white spines flowering

This turned out to be an awesome thread. And hostilis dude your out of control. In the best possible way!

 

[AvidGardener]

Trich. Bridgesii

Trichocereus Spachianus

 

[BecometheOther]

That bridgesii flower takes the cake. I heard bridgesii flower less frequently than San Pedro outside of their natural habitat. Do you find that to be true

 

[AvidGardener]

No idea brother. None of my Pachanoi have flowered for the last two years, but flowered before then regularly. *shrug*.

 

[hostilis]

Forgot to post the E. veichenbachii flower on my last post. Here it is.

 

[hostilis]

Lophophora alberto-vojtechii (Dwarf peyote) loc. coahuila flowering.

 

[Poekus]

Blooming here . They were transported outside and watered a month ago. I only water them once a month and the 6 months they don't get any water.

 

[hostilis]

My williamsii's fourth flower and the alberto's second flower.

That is generally true - but some cacti are self-fertile - they can pollinate their own ovules. Clones can pollinate other clones. Happily, all species of the genus Lophophora are self-fertile.
