Last summer I began testing Pediocactus simpsonii var minor seeds in outdoor flower pots and some of them germinated. Most of these seeds still need to grow and I'm expecting to see more of them germinate this summer. The ones that did start last summer were kept outdoors in cold frames and all but a few are alive. I transplanted them today into individual pots, because seedlings in this generic seem to do better when they are grown as individuals rather than in groups. They are in their pots under some shade cloth and hopefully will start to grow this spring and into the summer. I'm very happy that they survived the winter very well.
