Flowering degraft and potting

Allmost 4 weeks after beeing degrafted, this little fella decided to flower:


It also started to develop roots, which means potting-time. Here it is, together with a well rooted Decipiens:



Allthough beeing grafted to Pereskiopsis, they still has potential to get a natural look.

Diseased

A while ago one of my Lophphoras started getting some tiny dark spots, and getting a paler color:



As days passed, it got worse. It started to develop large cracks, I suspect was a fungal attack.. it looked scary, so I decided to decapitate and throw it away. A pity. I would like to get my hands on a good fungicide..

Caespitosa

Here are some L. Williamsii v. Caespitosa, started from seed in mid october 2006. This particular variant is known for growing into clusters, some of the pups have even started growing new pups. The only annoying thing is, that when grafting on pereskiopsis, the pups at the bottom encloses the scion's stem, which again will make degrafting a tedious and painful operation. At some point I will try to graft these on Myrtillocactus geometrizans
