Disocactus ackermannii seed pod


The seeds in this pod will be hybrids and they were pollinated last May. There were three pods and they are almost ready to fall off now in the middle of August. Three months seems to be a long time to wait for seeds to mature. In the last few weeks these pods have been turning red and almost look like something to eat. I'm unsure if I really want to taste them or not, but I will take the seeds and plant them. I have two of these D. ackermannii plants and hope to have both of them bloom at the same time some spring. Then I could get some pure species seeds.
