birds and the bees

Hi all, would any one have a list of cacti species that do self pollinate and ones that don't...

Cheers

Most don't and those that do yield more seed from cross pollinated flowers. That said if there is a list available anywhere of all cacti I would really like to have aread of it. It's a good idea San.

Note: Not sure if this is the right place for this topic though, might be better suited to the propagation forum as it directly relates to cactus fertility and breeding? Was just a thought.

There is a list of self-fertile plants, however I've just switched computers and don't have the link anymore. Give me a day or so and I think I can find it.

From memory, it was not in english (maybe french or german?), however latin binomials don't change and the rest was pretty easy to figure out.

probably dose suit the propagation forum better trig, sweet lachy look forward to it!

here you go:

some serious work was put into this.

cheers lewis!

its probably the same one that Lachy refers to, it is in a different language but you can still make sense of it.

Yep its good I have had that one saved for ages

Thanks for that

Looks good, though haven't had a chance to have a decent look. What language is it in. I might try and translate it to make it easier for everyone here.

Something I have been wanting for ever!!! Thanks a bunch for that. Now to translate it all to cactophile...

Is it French??

Looks like Francais...

Oui,
so glad I can speak it.

Bonjour mon catcaphiles

Cool so get traslating the bit at the bottom...........Oops forgot my manners PLEASE!!!!!


Colonne autosterile/fertile

s : autosterile, plantes hermaphrodites (allogames)

f : autofertile, plantes hermaphrodites (autogames)

sm : stérilité mâle observée chez certaines plantes

sf : stérilité femelle observée chez certaines plantes

Différents types peuvent parfois cohabiter dans la même espèce.

I can't lol but I can translate it...


oooohhhh cryptical.

+ 1 more that need help...

cal, please

Correct me in I'm wrong - but its something like this:

Probably not quite right:

different types are variable and can be associated with the same species

can sometimes grow/cohabit in/within simultaneously / within species

Okay,
I've converted the french word document into an australian excel spreadsheet that is completely in English.

But to highlight what they were:
s : autosterile, plants hermaphrodites
f : autofertile, plants hermaphrodites
sm : Male infertility observed in certain plants
sf : Female infertility observed in certain plants
Various types can sometimes live in the same location.

I have also converted the flowering times into "english" eg 1 a 2 has become January - February. They are currently set as Northern Hemisphere times, so I am converting them to Southern Hemisphere. I am going to add six months to each month but was wondering what does everyone think.

Way to go calycium.................you're a legend

sweet cal, love your work!

upload away

Here is a link to the file - will update it so that you can filter on types soon.


I have another idea that it will give you a list of what is going to flower based on todays month.

Excellent!!

Brilliant is another word for it

happy days!

this forum rocks!

Cheers all

PS: Calycium has any I told you lately how much you rule :king: ? well... big time mate, thank you very much!
