Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far! Here’s an update of a hybrid that I created in 2009. Looking forward to what the mature adult plants will be like — and not only because I think both of the parent plants are pretty FRESH, but they are also anothcyanin free, and I flippin’ love love LOVE anthocyanin free plants. Again, when a plant is anthocyanin free (or “AF” for shorthand) there is no pigment/coloration in it. I guess you can say it’s equivalent to albino-ness.

And the two of the strongest seedlings were separated and are lookin’ pretty good thus far.

Very nice
Thanks Yuri!
Very cool. With three ancestors with white areoles there’s a great chance to get some nice green-and-white kids. The second from the end is starting to show the light windows nicely. And I’m always a sucker for any plant with the scary hood from S. minor!
Hi James, Thanks! Hoping that the white areoles will be more definitive as the plant matures, if not I can always cross back onto “Green Monster” or AF psittacina or something to bring it out even more. Love this stuff, and agree with you — love the S. minor hoods!
