It produced another flower a few days after. When I first started growing nobody grew Ariocarpus from seed.

Your plants looks like it has a lot of wool at the top, although the beautiful flower is blocking the view of the plant itself. I lost a large A. trigonus several years ago but before it died it produced a single fruit. I have no idea what pollinated it, although I;m guessing it self pollinated, which ariocarpus is not suppose to do. I got a dozen seeds out of the fruit and 10 germinated. So now I have 10 nice A. trigonus seedlings. A. trigonus is odd in the genus in that it usually has yellow flowers. <br />Nice plant Alain.
