Repotted my lophs into Dr Greenthumbs grit mix. They look great. They will be chuffed when they wake up in the spring <3

Bulbophyllum argyropus, Lord Howe Island

I woke up with a painfully swollen hand after having been stabbed in the knuckle by a T. peruvianus yesterday. So I responded by giving my cacti fertilizer so they'll grow even nastier spines. I doubt non-cactus growers would understand

I had coffee with a new aquired peruvianus tipp

Its pretty hot here and all seedlings get water every second day. Seedlings 8 month now.

I finished removing pups so my 6 cm willi is all spherical again I'm in no rush to degraft as long as its growing. Has this gotten to the point that it would benefit from a larger pot? I'm wondering if the scion throwing out roots is a hint.

the above pic is from 2 1/2 years ago.... since then things have been slowly transforming - mostly thanks to folks on here and psytrance. the Courtii in the black drum on the right (below), is only 15 months old, must loves hot roots!

Terrible pics , crappy camera but you get the idea My first rivea flowers so many buds , so looking forward to a huge bloom in the next week

Transplanted almost a hundred rootbound Lophophora seedlings together into one large pot:

Some jams from the plantation Someone decided they wanted to be different! A few self sown jams Took a mistletoe spp berry, squished it and placed it on a A acuminata branch. Don't think it'll grow but worth a try Some fat little terscheckii x terscheckii Grew some Bhut Jolokia plants this year as I gave it a miss the last season. I always top my plants when they have 4-6 nodes. Dehydrated and powdered what was ripe. The trunk on them is a good 3cm diameter

Not just today, but recently I have... Planted lots of acuminata seeds. I'm getting alright germination rates, maybe around 50%. I soak them in boiling water for 12 hours before planting. Herbalistics seeds. I've read that they grow slowly, so I'm hoping to plant ~50 of them in my yard so that if some don't survive I'll still have lots. Got some nice big dragonfruit cuttings from one of my aunties. I cut them up into 20cm lengths and have put them in dry perlite to root like I do with my trich cuttings. Hoping to graft trichs and lophos to them eventually. Transplanted my periskiopsis's to a much bigger pot hoping for faster growth eventually. But now they've hardly grown for a month... and some snails came and ate some of their stems/leaves Tried to plant various nicotiana seeds... Getting a pretty low germination rate, not sure why yet. Too much moisture maybe? Put more trichs in the ground The caapi plants I bought from herbalistics are doing great. I had them in pots for the first couple months but they didn't get much growth, and I also wasn't fertilising them enough. Since putting them in the ground next to trees and fertilising regularly, they've grown heaps. They're climbed about 2m of tree so far and don't seem to be stopping A fewweeks ago I realised that I had lots of aphids on most of the caapi leaves, and that seemed to be slowing down their growth a lot, and lots of the leaves were wilting. I sprayed them with some stuff we got from bunnings, and haven't seen any aphids since, and growth has really picked up again.

This graft has already started cranking out 4 pups. Tearing itself apart! Beauty though considering its grown 7mm in diameter in a month

Some of my Acacia acuminata are like this. What is it and why? Spotted under my frangi Appears to be a double so far. This went funky a while back but now it looks like a revert?

Went to water my plants which are and have been chilling in a neighbour's veranda for the winter. Some of them really didn't like the environment change though, my Mimosa tenuiflora lost almost all its leaves. As did most of my kratom plants (thankfully my best ones are in the grow tent doing good). Some of them fare better though, so it allowed me to identify the hardiest genetics I have since all of them are seedlings. All my Phalaris species have dried up but I'm confident new rhizomes will emerge this spring. The cacti are doing great though, just sleeping peacefully.

Here's a few pictures of my Roseii #1 in flower. Sorry about the massive images but I haven't posted much on the new BB. Flowers, man. Gotta love them.

november.

My fave plant atm.... TPQC x TPM

platycerium from spores to walls... i use some sort of moss and soft barks/ garden compost / peat mix.

Pandorea Jasminoides (Bower Vine) NSW/ se QLD native, flowers for most of the year ,-) Fwd: Bower by @ablekay47, on Flickr Fwd: Bower by @ablekay47, on Flickr Fwd: Bower by @ablekay47, on Flickr

Hi, some Ficus macrophylla growing great far from their home. The first two pics are from the same tree. Greetings.

Another native orchid - and another rather strange one at that. It just floats and rolls about in rainforest leaf litter drawing nutrients from the leaf litter through the tiny hairs on the rhizomes. Cheirostylis sp.

Come on guys, pitch in

cool as I love my natives. this is a duboisia hybrid [ myoporoides x hopwoodii]
