| I crossed Ariocarpus kotschoubeyanus x bravoanus v hintonii last autumn. I collected seeds in September. Normal fruit of kotschoubeyanus is pinkish white but the hybrid one was quite green. I sowed seeds on 07/10/09 and germination ratio was poor. Seedlings were pale compared to other Ariocarpus seedlings.  I grafted 2 seedlings on07/11/09 and it seems they have taken. I took photo today. I also sowed additional seeds yeaterday.  |

| Grafted seedlings have grown well. I have grafted 11 of these seedlings in total. The attached photo, taken this morning is the same grafted seedling shown on 16/11/09. I think this one is variegated.  |

| Darren The crossing of kotschoubeyanus x hintonii was almost 100 %. In case of kotschoubeyanus, you can see the successful crossing evidence very soon but other Ariocarpus are diffcult to see the result soon. Currently many Ariocarpus are in flower and I will try to make several new hybrids. Hanazono. |

| I could not be satisfied with the flower color of this hybrid. I have tried to make darker flower color and crossed with an agavoides. You can see fruits in the photo. I will collect seeds and germinate them next spring. Hanazono  |
