if this was a poll i'd chop and treat the rest of the plant with Manzcozeb or similar but you probably know this. nice plant, i really just wanted to say i love the gradient in colour ,-)

a little higher than i was expecting... https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/TBM-variegated-bridgesii-Monstrosa-Rare-Cactus/383845786797?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

You mightve read above a redference to If you are able to familiarise yourself with the "burn" test then this is a pretty good way to set yourself on a path to answering the questions you have by yourself. It does require some experience, but an invaluable test all the same

some super nice Brugs in that garden too Had a stroll around Centennial Park today... no magic, but some cool fungi ,-)

yep Hopefully you've left them in, when larger parts of the vine higher up are pruned I've found very little new growth opportunities come from the pruned areas. of course they will shoot, but I think the best opportunities will come from those sprouts

nice one... see you early december

Im not around for the next Sydney APS meet but we should try tying a few meets in with those... plus a special defqon spring meet ,)

bit more background and summary here https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/allinthemind/david-nutt/10829146

Scallops was a good description ,) And 10 mins is all I do plus a rinse. never noticed any effect this way but probably wouldnt feed them to the kids. Anyone else read about the DMSO Tek? opinions? https://www.dmt-nexus.me/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=44418

the only thing getting me through all this rain in sydney is peaking into the patch ,-) and a few pics from last year...

rejigged all my pots on side walls and gave the vine on the back of the house a shave. pulled the caapi and hbwr off a neighbors tree they were about to consume. potted up a few plant from the last swap and grafted a few buttons. things are looking green

so are they the same plant? do I have the wrong ID on mine or are they 2 different plants? heres a better pic,

all numbers are infinitely divisable too ,-) if we're getting into ancients i'll leave this here ,) https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/atlantean_conspiracy/atlantean_conspiracy39.htm

hey, cheers, the hbwr is 2 years old. hasnt flowered yet

I've had mixed results with Calea Z, smoking/ drinking and in capsules. 10 grams a day over at least a week has given some interesting experiences... I usually do this in the lead up to festivals and the like to take advantage of crashing and sleeping with other things going on... Leaves should be used/ harvested after flowering and there are extracts available too

Use BB Code You'll need to upload the image, I use Flickr which has a BB Code option for sharing but there's heaps of other sites too. just try keep the shared size medium ish 600x800 bonus Fat Cat

I'm with you Skellum, (the bit about how well will they do over winter). i suspect they will hibernate and thrive come spring, my vines and viridis are still growing here in Sydney though we've just had our coldest week so far... hmmm, if you do decide to initiate your crazy plan i'd consider driving my van up to meet you, or co drive so it could possible be a 36 hour trip (12 hours of digging is my estimate ,) it would be work dependent but im flexible - weekdays suit me best. id be happy with any smaller off shoots that had touched and shot roots into the ground of which there may be a few? plus a bush or 2... might just be a late night brain fart so pm in the near future ,-) I have roof racks too and a tow ball hmmm and yeah, good luck with the Sale

is the link working for others? not for me... thanks

ha, we gotta go have a meet there next year, hit me up at least!

this is pretty cool... "Aborigines have used Phellinus fruiting bodies medicinally. The smoke from burning fruit bodies was inhaled by those with sore throats. Scrapings from slightly charred fruiting bodies were drunk with water to treat coughing, sore throats, "bad chests", fevers and diarrhoea." https://www.anbg.gov.au/fungi/aboriginal.html

yeah definitely Cleistocactus, I found a clump out bush a short while back... seems to grow up to 2m high with white though orange to flame red flowers... at aboout 2m they fall over and shoot new columns like the damaged one is doing in your second pic i'll find a pic of the ones i saw which presumably started out as a single plant...

i planted several rooted cuttings last winter - all did well over summer (sydney)... i have others in questionable locations that have stalled for about 18 months suggesting they are pretty sturdy and will probably move into pots for new homes. depending how much rootstock comes up you could put into a pot to keep in the sunniest spot til spring
