Might have trouble pollinatingthis one
Or at least pollinating anything else from it. Distinct lack of pollen, although there is a bit on some shorter stamens right in the centre . I usually notice this on hybrids, so I don't know if some other genes have crept in. Others from the same batch of seed are normal.

Here's one with pollen.
And here's an Ecinocereus with none.

Lastly, plenty of pollen in this Echinocereus flower, but nowhere for it to go.

Cotton wool bud. Wrap in foil. Put in fridge.
It'll keep 4 months in fridge. Probably until next spring in the freezer.

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. Recently discovered gorgeous Gasteria.
