It is fun choosing from all the different ones available. I think if I produced my own I would end up with the same problem as with Lithops and I would want to keep them all.<br />In the last BCSS journal Stuart Riley wrote a good article on Japanese Astrophytums. Stuart was at the Edenbridge show and I purchased a 'Onzuka' but he did not have many of those in article for sale.SUCCULENT SUNDAEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03561490964563796192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909905894076640771.post-29179756983555186122013-08-25T22:00:34.909-07:002013-08-25T22:00:34.909-07:00Very nice Alain. Astrophytums are great for flower...Very nice Alain. Astrophytums are great for flowering over a relatively long period, and the flowers certainly are big and attractive. Are you doing an pollinating? The last appears to be one of the Super Kabuto types, very attractive. I have several like this and have gotten some seed from then this summer. It's always fun to watch what comes up from the seed of this type.
