Astrophytum myriostigma cv 'Onzuka'
£4.95
Astrophytum myriostigma cv 'Onzuka'is a beautiful and much sought after Astrophytum. Flowers are yellow.
The cultivar 'Onzuka' has snowy-white, heavily speckled epidermis with fabulous markings, much like the ‘Kabuto’ asterias. The white marking varies considerably from plant to plant, and they change their appearance with age.
It was created by chance in Japan around 1974-1977 by Mr. Tsutomu Onzuka (Hence the name).
He intended to cross a three-ribbed Astrophytum myriostigma with Astrophytum myriostigma v nudum.
The available plant is the seedling shown in the first image, suitable for a 6cm pot, and will be shipped bare-root.
