Re: November 2019 - Grown From Seed
Here is the junior addition, from Juan accosta seed Jan 2008. Supposedly the parent had red flowers although I don't think I will ever find out if mine has.
One of my agave albopilosa grown from seed and one of the first UK plants to develop the amazing fluffy tips.

Re: November 2019 - Grown From Seed
My Trichocereus spachianus has had a chequered history. I grew it from seed in 1975 and had to chop and re-root a small section in 2010 after the main stem had partially rotted. In 2015 it flowered for the first time and since then it has survived 12 months in storage in 2015/16. The photos show it in flower in 2015 and dormant in January 2019.

This Euphobia Obesa was a seedling which appeared some years ago in the pot of a large old one I had. Shortly after potting the seedling up I lost the parent plant, so was glad I saved it! Probably 10 years ago now.

And this little Loph appeared three years ago in the parent pot. I’ve tried saving and sowing seed of these for several years without success. How this one managed life on its own is another of life’s mysteries.

The 'rabbit ears'-stage is just when they get their second pair of leaves.

Re: November 2019 - Grown From Seed
Not planted by me, but grown on quite unintentionally. It was a "passenger" in the Opuntia humifusa pot when I purchased same, last year.
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.
