And Opuntia fruit too !!!!


Among so many kinds of cactus grafted on Opuntia compressa only the Sulcorebuties stimulate the grafting stock to bloom. The Sulcorebutias probably produce hormones able to activate the flowering of the Opuntia. This is remarkable if we consider the very minute dimension of the Opuntias utilized. The result is curious and very handsome. This is the demonstration that the plants joined by graft constitute a symbiosis in which the two parts influences one to each other, and mutually contribute to sustain the biological process of life like: photosynthesis, water, feeding, blooming etc. They support one to each other in a very collaborative and active way. The two parts are one.
