Well to be honest this ephedra seedling really was a fluke.
I planted a bunch of seeds in various pots, after a couple of weeks nothing came up, admittedly I had left most of the pots dry out, and I needed some pots for Incarvillea sinensis so I rehydrated this pot and planted the incaevillea seeds and about a week after they had sprouted this little guy came up unexpectedly.
I'm guessing maybe the drying out had something to do with it although can't say for sure, this is the only sprout out of maybe 20 seeds in about 5 different pots. I still have a bunch left though.
And very nice S. cordifolia mate! Still haven't gotten around to sprout mine, but Sagi sent me some rhombifolia recently so I'm gonna try both at the same time.

Yup thanks a lot I'll ask him, I need to check his thread & monograph first maybe the info is already in there.
You know nurseries that carry ephedra on our side of the pond? pm me a link please

Hahaha thanks mate, didn't even think of that, gotta sow some more.
Do you know if different ephedra species can be crossed, like sinica x nebrodensis for example?

Thanks mate, I really wonder how they manage to synchronize their flower maturation and opening like that. How the hell do they communicate without even being in the same soil? That blows my mind...

Really awesome to hear man, congrats on taking such good care of them for this long. I can only wish my own caapi & chacruna plants grow up to be even half as lush and gorgeous as yours.

Friggin' amazing vine man, how old is that beauty? Same question for your P. viridis if you don't mind me asking.
-
Congrats dude! They look nice and healthy

Well it has put out a second cotyledon, and I have plenty of weeds in the garden but I haven't seen any that looks like it. I'm leaning more and more towards it actually being ephedra, time will tell I guess

Very nice flower man, what species of datura is that? metel?
-
Thanks a lot for the pics mate, those are some nice seedlings!
I think mine is just a bogus grass or maybe something ate one of the cotyledons... Keeping my fingers crossed, I still have a lot of seeds.

Thanks man, I got it as a live plant.
Matter of fact I have a pic from when I received it, it was this little itty bitty plant on april 13th:
Hopefully it's self fertile and I can get some seeds

Haha awesome drone shot man!

Thanks dude, probably took about a month and a half, maybe more but I didn't notice the buds before.

Thanks a lot guys!
I don't know exactly how old they are, I didn't grow them from seed. It's their first flower of the year though

Congrats mate!

Yeah they really need to calm their tits with the rules at that other place, it's one of the reasons I stopped updating my growlog on there and migrated here. Extremely glad I did. Just got a warning today over there for just basically posting my trade list in the marketplace...
I think a pollen trade thread could be cool, especially since we have quite a few amazing trich breeders here. I don't think it breaks any rules, the SAB is a lot more chill with trades and sales.
Thanks for the tips on Sida germination mate, and thank you so much for offering a plant but I'm in Europe, all 3 of us are actually.
