Cactusfruit! 🥭🌸
Look at her! Bella is growing her first fruit(s)! 🤗 (And a new flowerbud🌸).
I actually have no idea how she managed to do that. I thought they had to be pollinated from another cactus of the same species.
The first fruit, that is now going ripe, I think just got pollen from Bob, which I thought wasn't really compatible as nothing have happened before when I tried (and none of Bob's flowers have turned into fruits).
The second fruit, that is just green still, has just been pollinated by itself or another flower on Bella, if anything.
My mind is blown🤯
I really wished for fruit on Bob though, maybe next time😆
Looking forward to sowing new Bella-babies soon!😊 (Or maybe they can produce non-pollinated fruits without seeds?🤔 Time will tell!🤓)

@TidyTigerpear yes she seems to really like flowering🌸, she had 3 sessions last year. She has several small buds in the waiting now too, so I expect some more flowers late summer😄 Don't know where she gets the energy from😂 (I would like to borrow some of it).
Yes I have heard you might eat them🤔, but I have also heard they don't really taste very good, so I think I will go for the seeds instead😂

@MockingJay haha the energy part is very true. Reminds me of my Venus flytrap #GomezTheVFT he blooms atleast three times a year the past two years! I haven’t put it into dormancy either so I have no idea how it’s alive or is able to keep blooming. Sometimes I cut the flowers to conserve its energy sometimes I leave them just depends.
