Flowering Lophophora williamsii v. jourdaniana

I’m finally getting on top of my jet lag and ready to blog ;-) One of my Lophophora williamsii v. jourdaniana plants flowered while I was in California. Unfortunately my girlfriend is neither a cactus buff nor a skilled close-up photographer (she doesn’t mind me saying so… not too much anyway ;-) so the only reasonably sharp photo of the flower is the one pictured below.

Only time will tell if the attempted fertilization was a success. Pollen from the grafted Lophophora williamsii (SB 854; Starr Co, Tx) was used.

The before and after photos were taken at September 17 and October 7 accordingly.
