As I venture down another Rabbit hole!
Cacti Seeds. The Notocactus Uebelmannia had 3 blooms when I got it. But they were already past their prime. Once they completely dried out I removed them carefully and began to collect the seeds from the spent bloom. In the second pic you can see the amount of seeds one bloom produces. These seeds are tiny, for reference pic three chia seeds vs cactus seeds. I have started to sow the seeds in moist cactus soil, the container is sitting on a warming mat and is under grow lights. DidI forget something? Oh, yes just for entertainment value the last pic is of the Mammillaria Bocasana with two new blooms. A few days after being watered it produces a tiny little bloom or two! Now are any of you interested in growing cacti from seed? If you would like a few seeds let me know and I’ll send them to you.

@Idplantthat The seed pods are actually covered with a white fuzz and a little prickly I only handle them with tweezers!
Very interesting @Ms.Persnickety ! Not a cactus collector but I do enjoy looking at what others have & what you all do with them 🌵 🤗
