Hey Lewis,

That "Astrobergia" looks awesome. Are you sure that plant is the result of a Principis and Astro cross ? Looks like it could be a mutation much like the "Lotusland" ?

lewis · Subject: Re: Inter-generic hybrids Thu Aug 21, 2008 6:39 pm

yes, it is a Leuchtenbergia x Astrophytum. its Chinese.
i don't know what astro species though, could even be A.ornatum?

The spines look very much Ornatum. How do you know its a cross ? Does it say it on the site ? I can't find it anywhere.

Is this a confirmed inter-generic hybrid? Certainly looks the part.

Very interesting indeed!!! Thanks for posting.

Trig the bloke (Paul) who posted this is the real deal. One of the best hybriders in the world, I think he even has a few species named after him. As you said they certainly look the real deal.

yeah, it seems some of the best cacti in the world are in Italy.
Astrophytum asterias has also been crossed with Thelocactus setispinus with interesting results. it has remarkably astrophytum-like flowers.

on the topic of inter-generic crosses, here is a Ferobergia x Echinocactus grusonii!!:

so leuchtenbergia x ferocactus, then resultant 'ferobergia' x E.grusonii. Incredible!

Those are great photos, Juan. It's a fascinating hybrid that you've captured there.
