Some greenhouse news

A rather patriotic Poselgeri.

Finally been down to the greenhouse for the first watering of the year.  Have noticed that some of the Mammilarias have set fruit, thanks to the hot weather last year.  Mostly its the usual suspects such as Prolifera, and Hahniana thanks to the sheer amount we have grown from past seed.  But I also noticed that we have some fruit on Cochemiea Poselgeri as well.

Not quite sure why they are in Mammilaria in the first place as they tend to be huge trailing things, a guy I knew had one up to 6 foot tall, with some impressive scaffolding to keep it upright, as in nature it trails.  Most Mamms are small and spreading with a few that get huge (a foot or more in height, or 30cm for metric ponces.)  Maybe genetics will sort them out, and maybe not.

Any way I took a bunch of photos of it with its fruits on display and then removed them for safe sowing.  They kinda look like sweet corn kernels, which is much more rounder than what I've seen on display that regular Mammilarias do.  I'll update this with the photos when they finally come off my phone and will do a comparison shot between Prolifera and Hahniana's fruits as well as some seed shots too.

Edit: Photos.
