That's a remarkable plant. Well done!

I agree. Real nice.

woooowwww and this is a onzukax ornatum? wath a beautiful plant! is greath!
fantastic!
i hope to made some similar cross, the interessant things is that you used a nudum instead of a normal ornatum this probably give to the onzuka pattern the possibility
to show so nicely

Actually I crossed this year:
Onzuka x ornatum v nudum
ornatum v nudum x Onzuka
and collected seeds from the above two crossings.

I also crossed Onzuka x myriostigma v nudum cv khoyo and collected seeds.
I expect a myriostigma with strawberry-milk color.
I will sow these seed next spring.

I newly made a hybrid, Astrophytum ornatum v nudum x myriostigma cv Onzuka.
This should be also Onzuka banjyaku.
Sown seeds: 31/08/09
Grafted seedlings:01/10/09
I grafted 3 seedlings and attached current photo.

Really cool Hana. I like the possibilities with Ornatum Hybrids.
