cactus art 對黛絲的說明 Cryptocarpic fruit: M. theresae is one of the few species of cactus with cryptocarpic fruits. That is, the fruit and seeds are produced and retained inside the stem of the plant. After the flower is finished and dropped off, the stem closes over the fruit and the fruit/seed gradually ripens within. The following years the fruit may remain within the body at the axil, or may protrude a bit. A thin membrane will be above the part where ripe seed can emerge. As the plant swells with the new growing season, the membrane fractures, and some seed from the past years can little by little drop down and germinate in the close proximity, forming small colonies. But usually the seeds remain within the plant body for several years or for the whole life cycle of the plant, and frequently they will be released only at the death of the plant after the disintegration of the old stem.It is possible to collect fruit and seeds only by means of a thin pointed forceps. The seeds' vitality lasts for many years and moreover seeds contain inhibitors that preserve them from premature germination. Generally fresh seeds won’t germinate very well, only old seeds do. The complete germination of this kind of seed may take several years (Some will sprout unexpectedly after 5 or 8 years!). Because of the above peculiarity, seeds and plants of cryptocarpic Mammillaria (Series Longiflorae) are seldom available from commercial sources
翻譯: 袋斯是少數幾種隱果仙人掌 這碗糕的意思是: 他的種子在莖裡面成熟 而且還會一直留在莖裡面 開完花之後花會下沉到莖的內部 莖便把果實包住 果實會在裡面慢慢的成熟 接下來的幾年果實被留在腋窩(Axil)內部 或是稍微冒出來一點點 . 一個薄膜蓋住了果實的"出口" (A thin membrane will be above the part where ripe seed can emerge) 生長季節時 肥腫的莖會把膜擠爆 一部分的種子(幾年前的種子)可以一點一點的跑出來 掉在植物附近變成一個小群落
