    Huachuma in the Mosna Valley, Peru

    wow. some incredible pictures and plants! i believe there is a short mention of Tillandsia in the Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants by Christian Rätsch, and a picture of some winged shamans holding a Tillandsia sp. Great to see so many thriving wild plants, you must have scored some good seed stocks! cheers!

    cool! do you collect these seeds from wild or cultivated plants? i would be very interested in possibly trading some sort of seeds if you had a few available, i am mostly interested in plants which are used for teas/smoking mixtures. thanks, kea

    Heat mats and cactus seedlings

    does anyone know if there will be detrimental effects from keeping cacti seedlings on the heat mat over couple of months? i have noticed they are all very etiolated from not having much light.

    Slug and snail repellant plants

    this mite be a stab in the dark, but i have heard of formic acid (found around ant nests..its their poo. just looks like nice red-brown soil) being used as a natural insecticide. it cracked me up seeing Bear Grills rubbing ant poo all over his face and clothes to protect from mozzies!

    Mutant lophophora graft?

    yeah that red button looks like it could be a variegation, but who knows with that other bit off the side, i've never seen anything that looks quite like that. hopefully it is the start of a crest!

    hybrids of different species

    has anyone got any pictures of a mature crested peruvianus? or know where to find pics? google hasnt turfed up anything useful and i have a new trich crest which could possibly be a peru but i've never seen any other than Archaea's above pic (which looks similar but i still dont know)

    Newbie Cacti ID please

    maybe a bridge x juuls giant. but probably not, i just thought i might explain the relatively small spines

    Trich ID

    it is azureocereus hertlingianus by my eye. but that could synonymous with Browningia hertlingianae.

    Three Tricho IDs

    "However, a friend bought 5 clones off of him as T. bridgesii and they were definitely the "Super Spiny" clone. This could be just down to the wrong plants getting packaged up. I thought I better mention that it had been sold before under a different name." no they weren't, he also brought a 'super spiny' log which is quite different from those 5 clones. the 'super spiny' is a very dark green where as that 'bridge-whatever-it-is' (pic 2) is a light waxy blue colour with the weird wiggling lines along the ribs

    first seed grown bridge?

    not like any of my bridge seedlings, they dont seem to develop spikes for a few weeks and just look like jellybeans with a split at the top. cool tho. i have had a strange little plant with leaves sprout in the row i planted some ariocarpus seed

    How Long Are Seeds Viable for?

    i think the harsher the natural conditions of the species the longer the seed will stay viable for, eg: saguaro seeds can apparently last a hundred years staying dormant and waiting for the exact right conditions. but it seems the fresher your seed, the more of them you will get to germinate.
