Outstanding Mammillaria Luethyi flowers!! I also like the shelving in your greenhouse very space efficient.

the Mammillaria Luethyi shots are unreal!!!

It seems the long stock helps it go mad!!!

thanks for sharing, nice and tidy shelfs

Wow mate, Those Luethyis are amazing. Really good shots too. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

is the stock for the varieg asterias a Trichocereus scopoculica?

fine specimens

Yes trich scop i prefer harrisia juspertii as scion grows faster and get more flowers though i have used trich scop for this one and a loph because the scion was already large and didnt want to push it to much.

Great to see this top quality stuff! I love the Kikko Koh-Yo Myriostigma and the Luyethis. As good as it gets!

I have to ask do the luyethi set seeds.... you can guess the next question if they do.

Luethyi is self pollinating, seed is embeded into the body of plant hard to determine when seed is ripe by all reports seed is very difficult to germinate. All my luethyi's are propagated from cuttings. Do you have a luethyi

Impressive plants, thanks for sharing them...fantastic work!

Yes M. luethyi is a tough one to germinate...it can be done, but the seed is often not very willing. One of the theories is that the seed that is offered isn't ready, because of the reasons you've mentioned, and it's been extracted forcefully ahead of its time. It may even be that the seed isn't supposed to germinate until the parent plant has died and released it. M. theresae and a few others are in the same boat. I've also read that soaking the seed before sowing can help, but I trialed that with theresae without seeing any improvement...

Oh yeah, and welcome to the forum!
