So much fun!! I love this. I have a quick question. Is it possible to collect the pollen and save it for when another echinopsis blooms and then fertilize it with the saved pollen? Thanks in advance for taking time to answer.
Hi there :-D yes the good news is the pollen can be saved for a future cross pollination with another Echinopsis, once you have collected the pollen keep it in an airtight container and in the refrigerator and it can be stored for up to 6 months, its so much fun to play the Bee to get seeds haha, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic weekend XXXX

Your voice sounds like its from a fairytale omg, i love your voice so much
thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you tons of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful weekend XXXXX
I absolutely do love your explanation. It reminds me of the Paula Cole song called "Feelin' Love" from the movie "City of Angels". It talks about the pistol and stamen of a flower, and how it is sexual in a sense. Nature is beautiful. 🌺🌼🌵
Hope my comment doesn't seem weird. It was just a thought that came to mind.
Nature truly is so beautiful :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Tuesday XXXX
Thanks. That's informative. I'm a new cactus hobbyist from the Philippines and just subscribed Hans' channel. Salamat (thank you in Tagalog language)
Welcome to the Hobby Glenn :-D and thank you so much for your wonderful comments and for watching
Dear Lyn, I 💚 this wonderful white flower of the Echinopssis member of Cactaceae family. Among the 1000+ prickly friends in my cactus (hedgehog) collection, Echinopsis blooms in every july of summer. The flower lasts only an hour, but its smell can be felt from 300 meters away.
And I take pictures of them and cry ... from happiness !!!
Thats so wonderful your Echinopsis blooms for you every year in July, and WOW with your 1000 cactus collection, the blooms truly are so beautiful on these cacti and they have a wonderful heavenly scent too :-D and so happy you cry with happiness when you see them too, they really fill our heart with happiness when we see the gorgeous blooms :-D thanks so much Dinu for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Sunday XXXX
Dear Lyn ~ @@desertplantsofavalon , this cactus is very old (about 70 years). He belonged to my grandmother (mother's mother), who left this world in 1970). Then I took the cactus to my home. And in time, he made many children. But only in 2013 did it bloom for the first time. So I think that my grandmother continued to live through the wonderful flowers of "her" cactus.
I will send you an email (via Gmail), with some flowers of the good old Echinopsis.
All my collection lives now in a large and modern greenhouse, located (together with many other succulent plants and various exotic plants from the lush forests of the Earth) at 6 km from my city Bucharest (in Romania, Europe).
Thank you 🌹
@@Dinu-1959 Thats so amazing and very extra special Dinu, thats so wonderful that your old Echinopsis is from your Grandmother and its so wonderful that your Grandmother lives on through this very special cactus, and when it blooms thats a really amazing and very special sign, this is so fantastic, thanks so much Dinu for sharing the special history about your Echinopsis and thank you so much for all your support, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Bucharest for a wonderful Monday today XXXX
My dear @@desertplantsofavalon , I already sent you (34 minutes ago) an email with those few images. This Echinopsis united our souls. Thank you very much for this new friendship + 🌹
Sincerely, Dinu, from Romania.
@@Dinu-1959 Thank you so very much Dinu for the wonderful email and for sending the beautiful photos of your Echinopsis, your Echinopsis flowers are absolutely BEAUTIFUL
Hey, I only have one Echniopsis. Can I do exactly the same method here with just one flower? Thanks
Can I self pollinate a Blue columnar cactus? It is flowering right now but I do not have any other blooming cactus in my garden to pollinate it with. 😥
Hi there, some of the columnar cacti will self pollinate but some need to be crossed to get seeds, you can still try to self pollinate to see if the flowers get pollinated, thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful Sunday XXXX
Got the same cactus but my blooms at night once a year, tried to self pollinate twice didn't work so far but tried again today, because it bloomed again.
Thats wonderful you have this cactus too, and I hope that the pollination will be a success, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and have a fantastic Sunday XXXX
A very nice and informative video, thank you and wishing you the best results Lyn and Hans! Greetings from Greece!
thanks so much Marina for your wonderful comment and for watching and Hans and I are sending you tons of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from Ireland to Athens, Greece for a wonderful Sunday today XXXXX

Hello, what happens if they do pollinate? I've got a thimble cactus that is about to flower and was wondering if it's worth self-pollinating.
Hi Kelly :-D yes its definitely worth pollinating it as some are self pollinating and it would be fun to give it a go and see what happens, when the flowers get pollinated, the flower head dies back and a little pod will start to form from the base and swell up :-D Good luck with being the Bee and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a fantastic Friday XXXX

I got some baby cacti and they're siblings 😊 Found Ur video wondering if cross pollinating siblings will cause problems but apparently not.
Thats wonderful you have got some baby cacti and its so much fun to cross pollinate and see if we can get seeds from the plants, good luck with pollination, and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Friday today XXXX
Does this work the same with succulents too?
Hi there :-D yes this works the same for many succulents too, its so much fun to pollinate the flowers for seeds, thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful Tuesday XXXX
Lynn, the busy pollinator bee :))
hahaha Fernanda :-D its so much fun to be a BEE haha :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending tons of love and happiness and PLANT POWER your way for a truly fantastic Tuesday XXXXX
Omg you have the bishop's hat cactus!!!
Its a beauty :-D thanks so much for watching and have a fantastic Friday XXXXX
Can i do the same thing if the cactus is from a different kind?
Hi Luxanna :-D you cant cross pollinate two different cacti genus, all cacti flowers can be pollinated by hand but some are self pollinating and some have to be cross pollinated, but you can't cross pollinate two different types of cacti as their pollen will be sterile to the other Genus, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from the Emerald Isle for a sunny Sunday XXXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon thank you so much for replying. I appreciate it. And thanks for the information! It helps alot!
At the beginning your voice goes to such a high screeching register it was hard to understand you
Good Luck :)
thanks so much Denise for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending tons of love and happiness and PLANT POWER your way for a truly fantastic Tuesday XXXXX
if u get a lot of seeds do u sell some ?
Hi there :-D I am hoping to set up an inline nursery selling seeds in the future, so stay tuned :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending tons of love and happiness and PLANT POWER your way for a truly fantastic Tuesday XXXXX
I'm so annoyed, I recently found out you get seeds from the base of the flower. And before I knew this, I threw the flower in the bin when it died 😖
Oh no, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending tons of love and happiness and PLANT POWER your way for a truly fantastic Tuesday XXXXX
How do you know if it worked! Sorry if this sounds stupid but it’s not clear to me!
Hi Nina
@@desertplantsofavalon thanks a lot, I get it now! I’m very lucky to have a red and a white bloom overnight so I tried the cross pollination on the white with red and self pollination on the red and now I’m hoping to have results 🤞🏼🤞🏼
If it works, how long should I wait before I open the seed sack?
@@ninadoneva Thats fantastic you have had both of them blooming at the same time, and red and white is a perfect cross to get a lovely pink hybrid, I will keep my fingers crossed the pollination is a success for you XXXX 🥰❤🌵
@@ninadoneva Hi Nina
Me pregunto para que se esfuerza esta mujer en polinizar cuando este cactus se reproduce por medio de hijos que salen sin cesar. En fin...
Lyn in her bathrobe, i have a feeling Hans is stark naked aside from sandles

XXXXXX :-D
liquid that gathers in those white flower bulbs will numb your tounge
thanks so much for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Friday XXXX

Is it not cruel that you are forcing your cacti to have sex. 😂
