Re: Aylostera seedlings
Very nice Christian. They look like relatively large flowers on the albopectinata too.

Re: Aylostera seedlings
Superb
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: Aylostera seedlings
Looking good. I'm a little surprised to see pinkish tinges in your azurduyensis seedlings, as mine are a very pure white. I wonder if a little narvaecensis has got in there somehow?

Re: Aylostera seedlings
I agree!
Here are a couple of my Rebutia (etc) albopectinata FR 758 from the same batch of seed.
1 clone has much larger flowers. I still like the prolific small flowered clone:

Re: Aylostera seedlings
I think you might be right there, Ralph. The plant on the right is more or less pure white, but the others have a faint pink stripe on some petals. I might have to try again with seed from a different source! Nice to see some bigger A. albopectinata, Edward!ralphrmartin wrote: ↑Tue Jun 15, 2021 7:42 am Looking good.

Re: Aylostera seedlings
I noticed that the A. azurduyensis are not setting seed, despite being described as self-fertile -another gift from the narvaecensis influence in these perhaps?
