    I absolutely do love your explanation. It reminds me of the Paula Cole song called "Feelin' Love" from the movie "City of Angels". It talks about the pistol and stamen of a flower, and how it is sexual in a sense. Nature is beautiful. 🌺🌼🌵
    Hope my comment doesn't seem weird. It was just a thought that came to mind.

    Dear Lyn, I 💚 this wonderful white flower of the Echinopssis member of Cactaceae family. Among the 1000+ prickly friends in my cactus (hedgehog) collection, Echinopsis blooms in every july of summer. The flower lasts only an hour, but its smell can be felt from 300 meters away.
    And I take pictures of them and cry ... from happiness !!!

      Dear Lyn ~ @@desertplantsofavalon , this cactus is very old (about 70 years). He belonged to my grandmother (mother's mother), who left this world in 1970). Then I took the cactus to my home. And in time, he made many children. But only in 2013 did it bloom for the first time. So I think that my grandmother continued to live through the wonderful flowers of "her" cactus.
      I will send you an email (via Gmail), with some flowers of the good old Echinopsis.
      All my collection lives now in a large and modern greenhouse, located (together with many other succulent plants and various exotic plants from the lush forests of the Earth) at 6 km from my city Bucharest (in Romania, Europe).
      Thank you 🌹

    Can I self pollinate a Blue columnar cactus? It is flowering right now but I do not have any other blooming cactus in my garden to pollinate it with. 😥

    • @desertplantsofavalon
      @desertplantsofavalon  2 роки тому

      Hi there, some of the columnar cacti will self pollinate but some need to be crossed to get seeds, you can still try to self pollinate to see if the flowers get pollinated, thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful Sunday XXXX

    @LilDirt12 Рік тому +1

    So much fun!! I love this. I have a quick question. Is it possible to collect the pollen and save it for when another echinopsis blooms and then fertilize it with the saved pollen? Thanks in advance for taking time to answer.

    • @desertplantsofavalon
      @desertplantsofavalon  Рік тому +1

      Hi there :-D yes the good news is the pollen can be saved for a future cross pollination with another Echinopsis, once you have collected the pollen keep it in an airtight container and in the refrigerator and it can be stored for up to 6 months, its so much fun to play the Bee to get seeds haha, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic weekend XXXX

    Hello, what happens if they do pollinate? I've got a thimble cactus that is about to flower and was wondering if it's worth self-pollinating.

    • @desertplantsofavalon
      @desertplantsofavalon  4 роки тому +2

      Hi Kelly :-D yes its definitely worth pollinating it as some are self pollinating and it would be fun to give it a go and see what happens, when the flowers get pollinated, the flower head dies back and a little pod will start to form from the base and swell up :-D Good luck with being the Bee and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a fantastic Friday XXXX

      Hi Luxanna :-D you cant cross pollinate two different cacti genus, all cacti flowers can be pollinated by hand but some are self pollinating and some have to be cross pollinated, but you can't cross pollinate two different types of cacti as their pollen will be sterile to the other Genus, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from the Emerald Isle for a sunny Sunday XXXXX
