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

Premature pup flower

For some reason, this specimen decided to put its first flower on a tiny pup. Probably the grafting that makes it behave oddly ?

Recent grafts

I received some seeds from various sources last november, and of course, I couldnt resist:

Astrophytum asterias "Superkabuto":


Astrophytum myriostigma "Onzuka":


Eriosyce sandillon, thanks to Alejandro for sending me habitat seeds from Chile:


At last, my Echinopis grafts from previous posts. These freaked out in several ways, either by pupping like mad or monstrose growth:

Flower

My first graft decided to flower a couple of weeks ago:

Lophophora grafts

Been doing some work in my growbox lately. My lophophoras are beginning to look quite good.

3 different strains: The topmost one is the one mentioned in earlier posts. The pereskiopsis stock has dropped all leaves, so it doesnt grow quite so fast anymore. However, it has started to produce som tuft on the top, and hopefully it will start to flower within the next few months. The other two (from left) is Huizache and Decipiens. The topmost one was planted from seeds aquired from eBay, and was labeled "Huizache".. but I doubt its true (doesnt look like my others Huizaches obtained from a more serious seller).



These are all Decipiens:
