If any of you had Yavia cryptocarpa grafts from the BCSS what colour did they flower?
Mine flowered pink and others have said theirs did so also. A friend of mine who knows the plant from habitat though says his flowers white.

I gather I am supposed to introduce myself on the first posting. I am a member of Nottingham Branch which I joined in 1961 and an also a member of the CSSA of America, The Mammillaria Society, Thephrocactus Study Group and a founder member of The Chileans. I am strictly a cactophile and other succulents have no place in my collection of 1000+ plants.

Re: Yavia cryptocarpa
Pink flowers are normal in cultivation and habitat but some flowers do seem to come through white or almost white.

Re: Yavia cryptocarpa
Mine also seems to have set fruit, although I only have the one plant so it may either be self fertile, or have hybridised with something due to insects but I do not know what would cross with it? I suppose it could also be parthenogenesis, the self fertilisation through stimulation by foreign pollen? Anybody else set fruit on theirs, assuming mine has set?

The fruits are far less visible in the plant on the staging than they are in the photo, being far more hidden to the naked eye.

Re: Yavia cryptocarpa
No flowers on mine yet but growing well with lots of offsets. I also have one growing well on its own roots but too small to flower.

Re: Yavia cryptocarpa
Ooh, Dave, there's hope for mine yet, then! Hubby and I had one each (hoping for seed when they flowered) but neither has so far obliged. His is now larger than mine, and is producing offsets all round the base. Mine is still single headed and seems to grow much more slowly. I did read they take a long time before they start to flower. Lucky you!!
Regards,
Diane

Re: Yavia cryptocarpa
Diane,
The plant in the picture is single headed, more or less globular and about 2" in diameter. This is it's first flowering. Possibly they flower quicker on a graft and take longer on their own roots?

Re: Yavia cryptocarpa
Hi,
May I humbly ask about that, what rootstock did you use in grafting the Yavia cryptocarpa seedlings ?
Thanks for replying in advance.
