No problem. I'm sure there is a way to get them to set seed without crossing. I'll have to search for the thread on the nook about it that I read a while back.

It is said that you can trick the self-sterile mechanism with lily pollen.
This will allow for self-fertilization, supposedly.
Haven't tried it myself.

I'm not sure... The only one I had that was flowering size died quite a while back during my opiate abuse(I neglected all my plants a lot during that period). It never flowered for me before it died. So, I had to start over again with seed.
I guess I'll find out in a few years... Or when some of my grafts from last year finally mature.
The L. williamsii should produce at least a few seeds on their own even without crossing. On the Lophophora blog he says it took him from Jul. 18 to Sept. 10 til fruit set. If that helps any...

Nice, always wanted a desert rose.
Loph fruits always appear a little while after the flowers - from a few weeks to 8 months. My loph has gone into dormancy, started growing again and immediately fruited. That's like 8 months where I live.
