| This plant has two cultivar genes and called Red bean koyo, kikho. Koyo: Turned color as like autumn leaves in season. It is green in summer but turned color from winter to spring in red. Turned color only during juvenil, no color change when plant is matured. You can also see "koyo" in othes species such as normal myriostigma, Onzuka, Mammillaria bocasana. Kikho: Plant shape becomes like turtle shell when plant is matured.  One month old seedling, turned color already  Two years old seedlings, these also turned color  One year old grafted plant, turned color and appeared kikho pattern Since plant grows slower than normal myriostigma v nudum, you may graft seedling. I grafted a 40 days old seedling last year. Current diameter is 8 cm.  A matured plant, diamater is 14 cm. No color change but koyo gene is remained in seeds. |

| This is one of my favourite Astrophytum cv's. That mature plants looks awesome. I put my hand up first for any seed when it is available  Where did you get this seed if you don't mind me asking Hanazono ? |

| Hanzono, wonderful looking plants - the seed is so hard to get, and I'm with everyone else here - in line for some when you can part with some. I bought some variegated astro seed a while ago from Thailand - might have to put a few up in the comp prize, now that I think about it, but quite a few I grew have some red colouration. Two attempts to graft failed last week  Roll on this weekend for another try. |

It was a great presentation that you did on grafting in Adelaide. I still have my notes from it for when I am ready to try grafting later this year |
