Hey all. Was having some trouble uploading so hopefully things are working now.
I have a Conophytum obcordellum that is currently treating me to some honey-scented night blooms. I also happen to have a Conophytum pearsonii who’s providing some lovely purple afternoon blooms. I’d like to attempt to cross them but I have two problems:
The anthers of C. pearsonii seem to be very recessed inside the flower. Even if I could extract pollen I couldn’t guarantee I’d be able to pair it with either plant’s stigma because I’m certainly not seeing that structure!
The lack of overlapping flowering time. I imagine I could keep C. pearsonii pollen on a brush for a few hours, but I’m uncertain.
Any tips or advice?
I’ve also attached pictures of my repotted Faucaria that got moved outside. It seems happy!
