May be an insignificance to many
I bought the seeds in the summer of 2018 before I started to collect C&S seriously and before I had heard of the BCSS.
Another purchased plant ancistrophora had flowered last week and I'm hopeful that the collected pollen will have done the necessary.
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.

Not insignificant by any means! It's a beautiful plantel48tel wrote: ↑Fri Jun 24, 2022 10:31 am PSX_20220624_102203.jpg
This Echinopsis ancistrophora is the remaining plant from a batch of seeds from MesaGarden. It may not be of great significance to many, but it's the first plant to flower which I have grown from seed.

Re: May be an insignificance to many
Well done .
It is a nice feeling to see a plant that one has grown from zero to flowering size.

Re: May be an insignificance to many
I agree and remember feeling just as proud last year when I had my first flowerer from seed. Feels just as good with each and every subsequent one too Terry!

Re: May be an insignificance to many
Thanks guys .... I feel like the proud father.
I'm looking forward to possible seed of "pure" / "species" rather than hybrid.

Re: May be an insignificance to many
@el48tel: here is one of my insignificant echinopsis subdenudatas. It was supposed to become grafting stock until I stepped on back porch and it was all scented by this lil' guy. So it's going to stay, no matter how 'insignificant' it is

Re: May be an insignificance to many
Update
Yes the wiggled paint brush seems to have done its work.
Hopefully no aborted seed pods
Hopefully some seedlings.
And yes ... there were no other similar species in flower simultaneously leading to cross pollination.
I was excited when I got my first seedlings.
More so with some hybrids.
And now ... tell me .... is it always this "energy charged"?
