The whole garden is full of flowers, but there are some flowers that interest me more than others, for example the flowers of my beautiful Astrophytum Capricorne that I show you below.

The Astrophytum super Kabuto is still flowering and I can probably cross-pollinate with the Capricorne, although I'm not entirely sure I can do that.

This Myriostigma flowers like crazy and although I have tried to pollinate it, so far I have not had any good results.

I think the color of this flower will be yellow but we still have to wait until tomorrow to confirm it.

Let's go back to the Capricorne flower, this is how the cactus looks with its flower, the color is intense and I love it, many people don't like to graft cacti but we can't deny that the process is good when you want to see faster the characteristics of the cactus, for example this one is less than a year old, and it already gave flowers, something that normally would take up to three years.

Now let's take a closer look at these flowers.

Another cactus that has me surprised is this mammillaria nivosa, I thought it needed another cactus to pollinate its flowers, but as you can see some fruits are starting to come out, so here come the seeds.

The same with this other mammillaria, although last year it gave seeds the truth is that either I lost the seedbed or none of the seeds were born because I can't find their babies, this year I will pay more attention to see what happens.

Finally, I waited until sunset to observe again the flower of the Astrophyutum Capricorne and for some reason the color became redder, a beautiful color that reminds me of fire and that really impresses me to observe, this would be all for today, I just wanted to share a little of the beauty of my garden, see you.
