 San Pedro Flower 
#1847018 - 08/25/03 01:12 AM (18 years, 4 months ago) |
|
|
I don't know if any of you remember, but a few months ago, I posted a picture about one of my San Pedros that had started to grow a small bud. Well the bud grew to about an inch long and stayed that way for at least a month, didn't grow or do anything. Then just a few days ago, I looked at it, and it had a massive growth spurt, and had actually began to look like a flower.
Here's a pic of it that I took earlier today.
So, have any of you ever experienced anything like this? where the bud pops out of the side of the cactus, then doesn't do anything for a while, then grows 4 inches in 3 days?
Also anyone have any estimates on how many days untill it fully blooms?
Thank you, come again.

Heh, that's what almost every one of my friends who saw it said.
I'll be sure to post some pics when it blooms.

Wow, keep us updated!
I wish my pedros would flower.. how old is yours?
Make sure you smell it lots. I bet it's the nicest smelling flower in the world.

Well I got this one as a cutting from a large san pedro that my friend has in his yard I'm not sure how old it is, but by the size of it, I'd say its fairly old....10+ years, at the least.
I will be sure to keep you guys updated and post pics when it blooms....I will also make a point of smelling it frequently

Forsome reason I cant get those pics to show up, I suppose you can just copy the link and past it in the browser.
Let's see if these ones work....

Odd, I also just had a san pedro flower about a week ago. The petals are mostly dead and falling off, but its supposed to form a fruit within a few weeks.

Hmmm, mine never grew a fruit, the withering flower just fell off....by the way, does anyone know if the flowers produce seeds?

let's think back to 6th grade science. what is the role of a fruit in flowering plants?

What has to happen in order for it to form a fruit. The pollen from the flower on the pedro has to? Can it self-pollinate?

you'll need another pedro (or another trich! a hybrid would be cool) flowering around with a different DNA than your pedros (it can't be a clone).
this is for them to avoid interbreeding and so to have a richer genetical variety, blablabla, blablabla...
cheers,

It is possible for certain plants to self-pollinate, though i'm up in the air as to whether a pedro will do so if it isn't pollinated by another member of the species.

the species trichocereus can be cross pollinated. i have a peruvian torche, san pedro cross. its not all that odd looking, except for the fact that it has long spines, and short ones. i dont know what it will grow up to look like...though it has some size to it now. its a 20" cutting. ill post pics of my garden when i get my camera back
