Mammillaria luethyi

A small luethyi has cracked dried root stock skin and come out.
I grafted a pup of luethyi on a geometrizans. It was taken but roots came out from the scion because jointed area was not large enough.
I removed the scion and left the stock.
I think the small luethyi has been grown from a piece of luethyi tissue remained on the stock.

Well thats very very interesting

That's... odd. Very odd.

I'm surpised that enough tissue remained on the stock for this to happen... it may be worth keeping a close eye on this one in case a chimera emerges.

That's awesome.
What a pleasant surprise.

I agree with Lachy, it would be at least be worth keeping an eye on.

Unintentional tissue culture!

yeah thats what I was thinking.
Unless my eyes are decieving me or its hard to tell from the photo there appears to be multiple heads emerging from the callous not just one..
Super interesting in any case.

That's just unreal Hanaz. I bet you weren't expecting that to happen. It's always nice to have a success arise from a perceived failure.

Hana, you not only have 'green thumbs' I think your whole hands are green

He wants to watch out. Next time he might have little luethyiis sprounting from his knuckle joints.
