Thanks MeanGreen.. my number of choice is: 10

I planted some B caapi seeds sourced from Europe (unknown vendor, not communicative) and would like to identify the strain (or species) if possible. There is a larger leaf plant which looks like a typical caapi to me. Several of these grew and quickly. Then there is a plant with smaller leaves which is taking much longer to grow but still looks like a caapi. Variation within species or different? Then there is a random imposter which I can't identify. Could be anything but I'm interested to ID it. Maybe a tropical tree seedling from existing soil? Time will tell. Any info from experienced growers is appreciated.

Just for general interest, Here are pics of 2 cacti. They are the same species and looked almost identical a year ago. I put one in the shade in a pot and another in the sun, unsheltered in the sandy ground, surrounded by rock. Big difference. The shaded one grew fast and is very green. The unsheltered, hot, sunny one turned yellowish with tinges of red/brown. Interesting for me since I thought they'd be a bit tougher than that and would like the harsher conditions. Not sure if its heat, sunlight, exposure or nutrients which caused the difference but I'll be growing them shaded in future. Feel free to identify the species please.

Yep, they both had roots and were transplanted at the same time, with no acclimatisation. Sunburn sounds likely. It's quite an open, hot position and maybe the white rocks reflect extra heat and light. I'll leave the one in the ground and see if it recovers by next summer.

Does that mean the top will stay thin now and later end up deformed with a thin section? ok so maybe a bit more light for the potted ones then..

Syrian Rue is common on ebay or in middle eastern shops.. never a problem to find that one

I'm keen if I'm in town..

I've got some Ashwaghanda seeds to trade if you're still looking but Im in WA so not sure if postage and quarantine is worth it..

This little cactus is about 8cm diameter. I'm not sure which species ??

#22 Good number..Thanks Olive

Update.. It's known as Tropical Giant Salvia but its not really a Salvia. Its from Africa and is Brillantaisia. Found a pic of it online eventually.

Bought a plant the other day at the markets. Not sure which species of Salvia it is since it doesn't fit the descriptions. Some leaves are large, 20 to 30cm long, very short sparse hairs can be felt, seen if up close but not really noticeable. The stem is square but not hollow. No flowers yet so can't ID. From what I read online, the leaf shape does not appear to be oval/eye shaped divinorum and the stem is not hollow. Madrensis leaves look more heart shaped. The leaves on this are more shovel shaped, not so symmetrical. Any ideas?

There was a young man from Australia Whose attempt to find plants was a failure. He wants to see Sally, growing well in the valley, But was told "Don't try that cos they'll nail ya"

Thanks for that information

Hello Perth people, Thought I'd get this old post going again. I'm looking for Sacred plants, entheogens or medicinal type perennial plants for my garden in Perth. I prefer established plants in pots over cuttings or seeds. I can swap for potted T. bridgesii or Yopo/Cebil seedling or pay cash for potted plants of the right species. Plants that look interesting: Alicia anisopetala Argyreia nervosa B. muricata D. cabrerana Heimia salicifolia Ilex paraguarensis Justicia pectoralis Rivea corymbose... etc Feel free to post your wanted and available to trade list if you're in Perth. If you've got an interesting, rare, useful plant growing successfully in Perth, please tell me about it. Cheers

Is this picture Psychotria Viridis? or some relative? I appreciate any help..

Great.. Ive now got both growing well. Does the carthagenensis contain DMT? I'm reading conflicting information..

Update on this one.. Ive got Sacha Inchi growing in 2 tropical locations but still having problems in Perth. It really doesn't like the cold.

I'm searching for Sacha Inchi seeds (Plukenetia volubilis) to grow in WA. Its a great, tasty nut and incredible source of omegas.

I realise this post is old but for anyone interested, there is an Iboga treatment centre in Bali, run with Australian help. Its called Mulai Lagi which translates as "Begin Again" or "Start Over". Their prices are in my opinion high, but its probably cheaper than the airfares to South america. Theres also several Iboga options in Europe. e.g. Amsterdam. For opiate addiction I'd say you're better off with Iboga than Ayahuasca.

So far it looks closest to Salvia madrensis or mexicana.. No Salvia experts here?

Lots of these little fellas popping up..

ok, I took a pic of spore print.. looks very dark - brown/grey/black. They are growing from soil which was 50% potting mix, 50% mixed manure so could have been in either. They smell like what I expect an edible mushroom to smell like. I think you are right about them being Panaeolus sp

I'd imagine a pressure cooker would turn a day-long brewing task into an hour or two. A shaman in the Amazon brewing Ayahuasca(Caapi plus Viridis) probably has plenty of time but if he/she used a pressure cooker, would this impact on the quality of the decoction? Would high pressure and heat destroy any active constituents?

What state are you in? I mean your location within Australia..
