Here are some seedlings I'm very happy to see growing, and these seeds are from Mesa Garden under the number 1238. I flicked these seeds before planting them just like I do with Pediocactus seeds (method in earlier postings) and am having a fairly good germination rate. The hardest part about growing these plants is keeping the insects from eating them. These plants are very difficult to grow and I'm still learning about them. I've managed to grow lots of them from seeds in previous years, and have eventually lost almost all of them to insect attacks. I'll keep trying and hope that these will grow and perhaps even flower someday.
