Guest reville Posted July 28, 2000 Back again with another request- does any one know of a source for wasabi seeds or divisions - a friend has asked me to track it down for her?? The aussie plant finder 99/00 doesnt have it listed - Also its listed that oranda nurseries stocks lophophora , they dont anymore. But apparently Gardenworld in Vic does - but i cant find it listed - any pointers?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rkundalini Posted July 28, 2000 Wasabi is Wasabia japonica, if that helps. Mmmmm... ever had wasabi peas? Yumm Collector's Corner at Gardenworld do often stock Lophophora spp. although they have been known to use wierd species names probably to throw us drug fiends off the scent. I'm sure if you specifically asked for L. williamsii or L. caespitosa they'd be able to oblige though. Not sure if they do mail order though... Collectors Corner Cacti Gardenworld Complex 810 Springvale Rd Keysborough, VIC, 3173 Australia Ph: (03) 9798 5845 They used to have a web site but I think it died/disappeared...

They do seem to run out of Lopho's once in a while so keep checking. Sometimes they have a nice range of Tricho's as well. E D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Natura Posted July 29, 2000 Wasabi ? What you like, friend ? Putting on the top of raw fish ??? Once I took much and it gave me temporal amnesia in Sushi Bar !?!? This is Entheomimic ! In Japan, they have many different Wasabi species to Make wasabi root bark Paste. I like their flower. I think some Japanese gardening sites are selling them, search and try some.

Torsten Posted July 29, 2000 Never mix Wasabi powder into 'snorty stuff', unless you want to stop your flatmates from stealing the 'snorty stuff'. It's extreme, but it works The experience could definitely be called entheogenic, and the endorphin rush isn't half bad either. Don't try this at home kids.

Natura Posted July 30, 2000 Torsten, U mean Wasabi is Entheogen ? Indeed, Japanese people are basicaly very Spiritual.
