Grafted this astro awhile ago and after a couple months of no results, decided to cut half off to regraft elsewhere leaving just the dried parts you see in the pictures. After another couple months the scion started to dry up and deflate but I just ignored it. I noticed there was a raised ring in the middle. Eventually I noticed the ring seemed to be growing. I scratched at the callused top of the cut Astrophytum and it felt like paper. After peeling it away I discovered that 6 new little Astrophytum heads were forming from the inside trying to break through the paper like a conophytum coming out dormancy. (Pics taken about 1 month after discovery)
