Here are some photos of grafts done this year.Most of my grafting is field grafting which is challenging at times.

At this time most grafts are of seedlings, using a variety of methods with, both Epicotyl and Hypocotyl scions.

Most of the Epicotyl grafts are what I call flat grafts whereas for Hypocotyl grafts there is a greater variety, flat grafts,, horizontal grafts, insertion grafts.

The first photo shows two grafts, both to Pereskiopsis, most likely diguetii from what I have been told.

The scion on the left I believe is likely to be Austrocylindropuntia vestita whereas the scion on the right is a seedling Hylocereus hybrid.

This shows the same rootstock shown in the original post, it would be fully justified in having an identity crisis, it is covered in a large collection of scions, Cereus hybrids, Echinopsis hybrids, Echinocereus species, a Parodia, two different Epi Hybrids etc.

The feature in the photo is a C. repandus cross with Echinopsis huascha, the flowers are pleasing.

This is one of the Pereskiopsis rootstocks I am using.

I use Schlumbergera extensively as a rootstock, in this case have grafted three different clones onto another clone. This effectively gives four different flowers on the one plant.
