One of them is not like the others😁

Pic 1: 1st of December.

Pic 2: 28th of April.

Pic 3: 6th of May.

Pic 4 and 5: today, 15th of May.

Pic 6: baldi seedlings (pointy), denu seedlings (round) and baldi x denu hybrid seedlings (in between)

At first there was not a lot of growth, because it was winter and I don't have any grow lights, but now it's getting sunnier and warmer it's having a growth spurt. Its two heads and and areoles are not only getting bigger, but also more distinct now. Because of that I think it might be a denudatum-baldi hybrid, because of the way it looks and behaves. It's too pointy to be a denu and too round to be a baldi.

Pic 1 & 2: G. ferocior (with a beautiful colour gradient)

Pic 3 & 4: G. vatteri (unguispinum)

Pic 5: G. polycephalum (Macht seinem Namen alle Ehre, because it has three heads! Not pups. Three heads. A trichot essentially. I love it.)

Pic 6 to 9: two individual Agua Dulce (Or hybrids thereof? They were sold as G. mihanovichii "Black")

G. esperanzae, G. prochazkianum (now mostii afaik), G. riojense piltziorum, G. gibbosum v. nigrum, G. bayrianum, G. stellatum v. paucispinum, G. riojense v. paucispinum.

T. panarottoi, self pollinated. No other flowers were open at the time, so I experimented a little. Clearly it worked😊

They're all G. schickendantzii (the budding guy is ssp. delaetii), but they all look different.

Added a two pics of the roots on my ani in the lineup (pics 2-5), because it's so weirdly thick and stiff for an ani root, like a taproot actually.

Most of them even are in bud (except maza)!
