| Tried growing this from seed, but it was the only thing from koehress that didnt germinate. Ive not lost hope though, most of the germinations were delayed anyway. |

| Most germinate over 35%, so i cant really complain about the seller. I did buy it last novermber, and disocactus seed is rare in europe . I know they also receiver seed from growers, which might explain why. Might buy it from another seller, but it will be while before try and germinate again. Theres a lot to do at the moment anyway. Best of health to you and your plants. |

Awesome cactus and such pretty flowers.  May I ask where/how you found this goody? To boldly grow where no man has lawn before. |

Well you've done a most excellent job and have some lovely to plants to show for both your work and patience!  I don't mind waiting a bit for a cactus to grow, but I'm afraid 30 years more than exceeds my limits of both time and patience!   To boldly grow where no man has lawn before. |
