Really nice plants you have there Hanzono, I particularly like the first one I just love astro hybrids.......so many possibilities.

This caput-medusae (ex. crypto) grafted to pereskiopsis flowers slightly orange.

I know it's an old flower and astro flowers often turn darker as they age but it opened this same colour.

Thats a cool flower Quite orange. Mine are noticeably yellow.

Mine are also yellow color.
I collected quite many seeds in this season but I cold not collect from abnormal flowers shown on the photo.

Thats really cool Hanazono, I like the double/crested flowers. Any seed to spare? I'm looking for some.

i realy love these plants but am afraid they might be to hard to look after for me

Same as any Astro Darren the problem is the cost of the seeds

what is the reason for the abnormal flowers... i have never seen a double flower like that? and why are you unable to collect seeds from them?

i think i am gonna have to get me one of these plants very soon

I do not have any mature plants of own-root caput-medusae but these abnormal flowers are affected by grafting, I think. You can not see on the photo but stigmas of these flowers also are abnormal.
You can not expect any fruits from abnormal stigmas.

Yes, Grafting is the Devils work !

These plants are pretty quick without the need for grafting.... I set seed this year on plants 2 and a half years old on their own roots....

Flower of a plant on it's own roots...it seems more compact than the grafted ones, and not sure but it looks like it has a single row of petals where your grafts may have two ?

And a few months later - Only 25 seed though....

Great.

wow great plants and flowers!
