| Amazing cacti Hana, there's so much detail in these little cacti. I often like them so much more then the giant cacti because of this. |

| Jermilae is 13 cm diameter.
Hintonii is 10 cm diameter.
Hintonii is a small plant but the photo one has grown to a large size because of grafted.
I have quite many seedlings, sown seed in 2006. They have grown very solwly and been very small.
Since one each plant only was in flower today. I have preserved pollen for the pollination in future.

| Another Ariocarpus, fissuratus f Big Bend was in flower yesterday. I bought seeds and sowed on 31/10/2003. Young seedlings were grafted on Hylocereus stocks just after germination. This cactus was degrafted 2007. Since it was difficult a normal degrafting for fissuratus, I degrafted with a short vascular bandle of the Hylocereus. I believe this one relies on own roots currently.  |

Many Ariocarpus have started to flower but same species may not be in flower on same day. I have preserved pollen for the pollination. |

| I sowed Ariocarpus seeds firstly in 2003. This retusus is one of them. I grafted young seedlings on Hylocereus and degrafted later. This 19 cm diameter retusus was in flower yesterday. One of grafted retusus will be in flower today and I will do pollination with it.  |

| Hi Hanazono,
is the A. retusus pictured above on it's own roots now? Or is it still grafted? It's very impressive, either way. |

The Ariocarpus retusus on the photo is an own-rooted plant.
I degrafted and rooted.

| Can I ask at what age you degrafted it? Looks very healthy indeed. Quite large too! |
