Hi
ive got 1 astrophytum myriostigma (large)
and many Echinopis (unknown hybrids - one type yellow and one type pink)

im looking to swap pollen of these as im not getting seed

Ive been collecting on cue tips then storing in plastic in the fridge.

I may also have pollen for
Astrophytum crassipinoides
Gymnocalycium gibbosum var nigrum

and other gymnocalyciums again later in the season

Im interested in Trichocereus-Echinopsis hybrids
does anyone have experience here?

RE: Pollen swaps

Hi Mycena
Do yourself a favour and join Succulents grown in OZ it is a yohoo group. I am not very good at computers otherwise I would put the link here. Just as well plants are my hobby.
I may have some Astrophytum myriostigma pollen you can try if it is still flowering. I have some Trichocereus and Echinopsis but not big enough to flower yet. You could always trey hybridizing your myriostigma with crassispinoides.
Regards Dave Hall
