RE: My Mammillaria shurliana

Thanks a lot!
But her flowers, for some reason, did not pollinate. The flowers of this Mammillaria have a faint pleasant fragrance!
Next time I will try to pollinate it again to get seeds.
@hive-183841 and @ewkaw - I have Mammillaria surculosa seeds, do you need them?, I can send them to you.
I do not need them. I don't sow seeds.
@hive-183841 Can you get my email from @ewkaw ?
And then write me your address? If you want me to send them to you.

Sort:  

Oh thank you! Nice yellow flowers :)
It would be awesome if you have spare seeds.

I can also send you seeds of Mammillaria Carmenae, with white flowers.
And further!!!! I pollinated Astrophytum asterias and now a large seed pod has started that is all dark red!!!!
I think that you and @nikv will want these seeds :-)

Should I wait until this seed pod starts to crack or pluck it earlier?
I took a picture, but I need to upload these photos to my computer.

Yes please! Wait for it to crack open, I think

Thank you!
You're right!
With great difficulty I found information on collecting Astrophytum seeds, here's what they write:
"After the seeds ripen, the box opens and resembles a star in shape."
So we will wait! 🤗

Thank you :D

Yes, wait for it to mature like Nikv said.
I picked a fruit too early once and ruined it all as the seeds weren't ready.

I will definitely wait, I cannot lose these seeds!

Excellent!
