A hybridisation experiment 2010

Why use Chamaecereus?

It is remarkable - if you compare the size of the plant with the size of the blossom: 
The blossom is HUGE! ...and has a nice colour.
Other advantages: It is small and blossoms early, you see the results of your experiments soon,
it is easy to grow. 
The seedlings appearance reaches from chamaecereus-like to larae-like - at least now 
and grafted on 2 different stocks.

The parents:
Mother plant chamaecereus, pollen from L. larae, blossom in june, 
sown about 20 seeds in july, grafted end of july, 
seedlings pictures: end of september
Chamaecereus silvestrii
                          * Lobivia larae
