Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Re: Loph williamsii
Thanks for kind words lads, re potting job on w/e. Yes they are self fertile, but I seem to have more seeds with a little tickle of the brush, but I was always bad at counting at school lol. Cheers

Re: Loph williamsii
Nice plants!
It appears that some populations in habitat are self fertile, while others are not. I have examples of both in my collection, though I can't recall their locality data off the top of my head.

It is probably just the populations in the south of the distribution near Etronque Huizache that are not self-fertile. However, all of the other Lophophora taxa - fricii, diffusa, koeresii, alberto-vojtechii are NOT self-fertile.
Most of my L. williamsii seed goes to waste, within succulent enthusiast circles there is little demand for seed or plants.

have you ever had volunteer seedlings of these pop-up (like your Euphorbia obesa)? Have a look. It can happen.

Re: Loph williamsii
Interesting idea, Ralph.
My experience is that, unless you pull the pods off the seeds end up stuck in the dried fruit, lodged among the hair on top of the plant. Do you cleaverly avoid this? Would welcome a better solution☺
