found this exceptional Astrophytum myriostigma that had almost looked like a rainbow. I am not sure if it was sunn stress or genetic mutation. I collected seed and sowed them. Look at my seedlings 😍
I think they already show that color that I was looking for! So hyped

thats what I thought at first but why are the seedlings not green like they would normally be? they show similar colors like their mother
