Thanks you all.
Aiko, there were more than one plant blooming at that time, as usually at least 3 plants are blooming at a given time. Also, I always transfer pollinia from different plant to pollinate, but havnt try pollinia from another species,

Pijaya

That is a very large clump of agavoides!!

This is the first time my Whitesloanea is setting seeds after they have been VERY reluctant. I did numerous hand-pollination under a hand lense, and the flies also did their works, so cannot be certain to whom should be given the credit. Now I have hope after it was long abandoned on these plants ! ...

Phatplant, hope your Beisellia is doing well. Mine are in the bed but have been dormant for many months now just starting to pop out new leavess, oops forgot to take picture Still on this topic, this is Boswellia neglecta grew from seed sown in sept 2007, and with some pruning. Out of 100 seeds, onl...

I guess they like it hot. The temperature reaches 42 degree C. for many weeks now, and many plants are showing full growth indicated by new wool and spines, especially the Mexican miniatures. Pelecyphora asseliformis are flowering away, as well as the Strombos. I feel this is only the beginning as t...

Nice! The plant is also beautifully grown.

Euan, How many seeds did you sow? I got some seeds last year. Out of around 500 seeds I got 4 germination, and only 3 are survining until now. I found them quite slow growing. They are about the size of yours' since last year and not much growth ever since but not dropping the leaves either. Maybe t...
