withdrawl clinic

congratulations to this exciting find! i hope in good time you can upload a couple of pics, so we can get more of an idea, of how it grows. i wonder if the rocks, provide good drainage to this plant, and if they even provide some form of protection from fires. as you say, it loves to sucker, and i agree that this habit, would also make it to be able to re generate, after fires. ephedras are one of my favorite plants, and i admire that those living fossils, managed to cultivate sea shores, deserts and alpine ground. i could easely see, that ephedras were as well distributed by humans, for a very long time, as it's a very usefull medicinal plant. i once posted here about the ephedras at kew royal botanical gardens, and the posibilety, to test chew a variety of species there. some people believe, john smith the founder of the mormons, dosed up too high on ephedra, and as such got his messages from the angel.

i grew courtii, from free seed, and it did do well even at my super hot location. one day, many moons ago, i woke up and said, "i clean my yard", and i chucked courtii, but she smelled super nice... i tell you a secret, acacia bakerii! it's one of my own discoveries,Acacia bakeri - Wikipedia

i have sent an e mail regarding this, and started a thread. i will look for it and post a link, it at least gives you a time frame of when it happend... so a few years ago i uploaded a pic, and the forum software must have thought it was a video. i clicked stop, because the uploading took, far longer than usally. my post count shot up by a 1000 or more, because every dark image, appearing at the top of the page, was counted like i posted a gallery pic. so those black pics, i can't find because, pressing just the left symbol at the gallery pics doesn't get you back all the way to what was uploaded in june 2020. but they are still there because my post count is still to high. another thing is, that if one clicks gallery, it always features the pics of bullit, and this page used to change randomly, and give other members a chance to have ther pics promoted. tort, here it is. took me a while to find...

that, i don't remember.

a long time ago, a farmer, heard my morning cough, and prepared me a salvia officinalis tea. she used a lot of herb, and it produced some strange sensations. if i remember correctly, a feeling of being removed from, reality, bright dot's of light, and seeing the world more in sepia only. it lasted for a few hours, and i would not repeat, this experience...

looks like 3 different things to me. the one with the title, melting in the shade, reminds me of how it looks, when the pedro changes from 5 ribs to six, or so. but than it seems decided not to vary the number of ribs. the roseii melt, looks what i get at times from, placing a cutting in a shadier position. good onya, for spelling roseii correctly, most people even professionals and the gardening shows always spell it wrong, in latin it's always double ii, not single...

over the years, reading here, i can say that rue, is the most complained about plant. for most people it does not germinate, and if it does it struggles and dies prematurly. i remeber one person, finding out that it has an unusual ph requirement, i'm slightly dyslexic, so polar things are hard for me, but i guess very alkaline enviroment. for the flowering, i can't say for certain, but flowering has often to do with two things, photoperiode and dry spells followed by rain. in melbourne, you get quite varying daylight ours, so i don't think it's that. but you probably get too much rain, and no dryspells at the right time of the year. maybe it needs a cold spell. it seems do like desolate places where nothing else grows... keep up the good work!

most people struggled, keeping those plants alive. i was told, people farm it, in qld at a place called mudfarm, at least they sell the oz grown herb.

i am looking for salvia apiana seed's and or rooted cuttings. please pm me if you can help. i once grew a huge plant, which produced hundreds of seeds, but the seeds got lost....

there are two different strains around, and the difference is how easy they produce seeds. one produces seeds to a very high degree, the other one hardly. i currently don't have the well seeding one, so if you have seeds please pm me.

so, we have posted a lot about this years ago, and i might add to hd,s reply. 1, at my location good flowers and seeds are produced only after heavy rain. 2, for hand pollination, and this is how ph was created, i put a plastic bag around the unopend flower. than when it opend, removed the pollen stalks, by cutting them off with scissors. note this was done with premature pollen stalks. than apply pollen from your cross breed to the stigma, note the stigma is mature if it "looks" wet. than quicly put the plastic bag over the flower to avoid other pollen from fertilizing. 3, but my newer methode, is much easier and requires, no steady hands anymore. let the flowers x pollinating by chance (or even help by hand pollinating) and than just grow all the seedlings and pick them by trait. 4, often this plant produces in fertile seeds, which look flat or not filled out, only try to germinate "fat" seeds. note in fertile seeds are produced by lack of moisture. plants need to be planted in the ground to produce a good set of seeds... 5, to collect the seeds, you take the whole branch off, just when the seed capsuls are starting to split open. than you put the branch in a cardboard box. maybe the long cut branch will still provide enough nutrients to the seeds over the next few days... than you whip the branch against the card board, to get the subborn seeds out. 6, than like panning for gold you shake the box, this will make the seeds collect at the bottom and corner (keep box tilted). than remove all the debris which collects at the top, and the seeds will be collected right at the bottom.

i have been prescribed prazosin an alpha blocker, and have used it only once and just halve a minipress. i checked it's half life, and it should not effect me, more than 36 h later. all though some papers state, that it's effects can last for a few day's. now have used metropolol (a beta blocker) years ago, and when i stopped using it, i felt an uneasy heartbeat for 6 months, and this only from one tablet. i have to add i haven't used prazosin and metropolol at the same time, and i know they are contra indicated. taking one metropolol, in the morning, gave me an uneasy heart beat allready in the afternoon. what i mean is some doc's prescribe one in the morning and halve in the afternoon. i did not take metropolol, to help unregular heart beat, but for ptsd and anxiety. but it "gave me" unregular heart beat. i still take metropolol at times, to overcome stage fright, but this only once a week maximum. i know of stage performers which had to perform every day, and as such had to increase there beta blocker intake, and they must have gone thru hell waining themselves of it. alcohol is a much saver anxyolitic, and is the best drug to overcome stage fright. now i have taken at times only a single dose of mitrazapine, and some ssri's, and i had the feeling that they still had an effect on my receptors for days later. as well at times, i claim, a single dose of an anti depressant would, stop my long lasting depressive state, from one day to the other, and i felt no need to take another dose. all of the said above, make me believe that, receptors might work, compared to what a gate does, open or close to an influx. but it's for me not as the pharma people describe, once you stop taking the inhibitor or antagonist, the gate shuts again. i see it as, the gate can "be rusty and not open easely" and as well the "gate can be, swung open and to get stuck for a while in the opend stage". i'm a person who can feel galangel kefir, and other herbs, passing my, blood brain barrier, maybe thats an indicator, why i seem to be very sensitive to, drugs which alter my receptors. taking a single halve dose of prazosin, more than 40h ago still give me the sensation of, i want my body back. i had a night mare with lots of blood pressure medications, in the same way, they turned me into a geriatic person from one moment to the other, i could not drive, do my chores,and it seemed even my cognitive functions were negativly impacted. just keep taking them the doctors said, it will get better. thank god i did not heed there bad advice, but stopped and tried another blood preassure medicin. it took a long time to find a drug for me with minimum side effects... i'm lucky i currently have a doctor who doesn't take it personaly, if i'm not happy with the drugs we try. many doctors are so incompetant, they belive only street drugs can be dangerous drugs, only street drugs make addicted! they believe antidepressants are non addictive, and tolerance is not an issue. if you experience a rare side effect of a drug, they never believe you.

yes, but i take coversyl for that. i was prescribed prazosin, to relax my bladder, as i have to pee 4 times a night, it's a benign, prostrate thing. i researched prazosin more, and it was hailed as a miracle drug for ptsd, but now has been found useless as such. the poor veterans get treated like guinea pigs, pumped full of drugs that don't help, but have negative side effects... i think, i understand now, why i hated this drug so much, it's an alpha inhibitor, it removed all zest and energy from my body.

hi! i have educated myselfe a lot regarding, big bang, particle physics, dark matter and dark energy, and black holes. now my mild dyslexia makes some of thos aspects of particle sience quite difficult, as for example my brain struggles to seperate neutrons from neutrinos. i saked my selfe a lot of questions and only some of them got answered over the years by sheare chance, by some lectures. i start this thread with the hope that some members here love this topic as well, and we could get a platform of ideas going... one thing i struggled for a long time, was, if light is made out of photons, wich have no gravity, why do there beams get bent by heavy objects (gravitational lensing). now i know that the light gets only seemingly bent because of space time!! the james webb space telescope will be lauched soon, and i am very excited as it will make us look further back in time than ever befor. but some people say it should get a name change, as james webb was not nice to some people... when i was a boy and started out with astronomy, people said, one cannot build bigger telescopes than mount palomar. but with computers help we can now. computers helped us to discover many new objects, trans neptune objects, and even an earth trojan!! which is a space object sharing the same path as earth, but sits at a lagrange point. james webb will be placed at a lagrange point as well. what excites you, regarding the universe? we are all made out of "star stuff", held together by "forces"!! maybe somebody can answer me two questions: a massive sun displays more gravitational force than say our little earth. a black hole even more so, but by this newtonian law, heavier objects should fall faster than light ones but they don't. i support modified newtonian gravity laws, and superfluids instead of dark mater and dark force. this new theory first suggested by khoury (my hero) says maybe gravitational laws don't scale the way we think they do. and is the infinite small nucleus of a black hole, particles just squeezed together, without any space in between? black holes in my intuition get squeezed to infinitly small, by the higgs bosson.

mm, thx for reminding me of the mercury transveres, the sun story. yep that was how einstein was proofen right. now a telescope is in the planing stage to use our sun as a gravitational lens, with the aim to get pictures from planets (exo planets) from distant suns. it will have two parts a shield to cover the sun, and the camera, both very far away. hd, the mount palomar mirror is solid glass. the very large telescope, has segmented mirrors, and not out of glass, to overcome the blurring effects, all big telescopes, shoot out a laser beam, which tells the computer instantly how to correct the image. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_Large_Telescope

wau and thx for sharing your excitement and the wonderfull pics with us. i stopped grafting seedlings, or even germinating them, since the law changed, all my seeds go to waste. years ago, i got about one albino, in a few hundred seedlings, but none of them survived grafting. whilst the green ones were plump, the white ones were soft and squishy. yours looks good on the photo! good luck and update us! late edit: you placed the seedling perfectly, but i want to share with you what i did. i only used tip cuttings of peres, and sliced just the very tip of the rootstock, like that the loph seedling and the peres fitted perfectly (both had the same diametre), this avoided any callus from forming. maybe the open wound could as well, allowe pathogenes to move in.

cielo, can survive drought and mild frosts, if planted out. it as well makes a very nice pot plant. i say this because many members here believe, it's extreemly benefical to the" cause", to establish a relation ship, with a "life plant", instead of relying, onto outside sources.

i think fresh seed germinates faster than, older and not well stored seeds. this post thought me that acacias do form hybreeds readily, this is exciting.

i ran my lawn mover over my favorite plant yesterday, and hope somebody can help me with another one. it was sent to me as a surprise, in a barter trade. it, would have to be a seedling, PLEASE DON'T discuss in this thread what it could be! please pm me, if you think you can help. i am traumatised and devastated by this event, i hope i can fix it. love and light to all you plant lovers!

mine came from the tablelands, it was an unsolicited barter.

very nice offer, buttsack, and your germinating tek, is very smart and neat! fyzygy's methode, is what i used to do, but let me add something to both of your methods. i have in the past experimented with polarisation of catha seeds, and have established the information as follows. i would suggest to orientate, the seeds in following fashion. make sure the seeds are placed into the potting mix, with the wing facing upwards, the same i would do, using the coin bag tek. than just place the bag in a slant position, so the emerging roots have a space to, grow down to. using the coin bag method, and moving the bag around (changing the orientation of what the seed thinks is the down direction) can lead to the root not forming in a straight fashion. placing the seed "wing facing up" as well will make the embryonic root go straight down into the soil, whilst upside down planting the root will emerge at the 12 o'clock position and than have to bent to "go down into the soil. plant the seeds ~4mm deepand use fine sieved seed raising mixture for the top 2cm of the soil. once the seedlings have formed 4 or 5 leaves, on can inspect them and decide, which seedlings to keep and which to cull, in the same fashion a rose or fruit breeder would go about. bs, you mentioned vienna white/pink, which suggests to me the mother plant was a seedling, can please elaborate on this and tell us, if it was self pollinated or maybe mixed pollinators where at work.

i managed to grow it for a while, even in the semi tropics, i posted about it with pics a long time ago (2007??) as well i have encountered a few fake lago seeds, and even sprouted them, to find out which plant they came from, but i could not id the plant. those fake seeds were sold with malicious intent, just to make money! they were much bigger than the real lago seeds. you mention the uk, so my source is quite close to you, it was an ethnoshop located in vienna called querbeet! good luck, lago would be a herb i would use once in a while, as i realy liked it!

i once purchased lagochilus herb, from a trader in europe (was quite cheap) and removed the seeds which, came with the package. they germinated well, this plant, is not possible to cultivate in most parts of oz. it's native to turkmenistan, a cold climat country. might grow well in the alpine regions of oz, and tas. i like lagochilus, the home grown herb was more potent than the purchased herb, which might suggest it doesn't store well...
