An interesting time lapse video from the DKG

Post by el48tel »

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.

From the same user, this one raises a few questions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zF-EQLwX5jw :shock:

I have asked if the plant is grafted (well, I might have done if Google Translate is not misleading me). It could be the result of a chimaera from cells mixing across a graft. Or it could be a natural chimaera, similar to that which happens in humans and cats occasionally, from what would usually be separate twins developing into the same body.

How about a transposon gene switching off the red colour in the yellow flower. If it happened early in bud formation the whole flower would be affected not just a few petals.

You could be right. I got an answer from Kaktus Willi. It is not grafted. They linked a photo with one flower looking just like a chimaera cat.

If you don't know what a chimaera cat looks like, google it for images. You won't believe it if you just see one photo.
