BillyThKid Posted June 9, 2014 Wrote this once and the page lost it ugg. Anyway this thread is about Shanin which i believe refers to the species petunia violacea which is a common ancestor of most common hybrid petunias. Though i am not talking about the hybrids. This species is thought to be a mild psychedelic causing feelings of flight or something along those lines. i read one or two of the old threads on here from 2004 about it but they have very few replies and all old information. I think i remember reading somewhere the chemical or whatever in the true Shanin plant is similar to what is in Salvia D. but no Identifiable alkaloids i know of have been found in petunias. I have done a bit of research but no luck. i got Shanin seeds from a trusted friend in texas several months back and being the nice person i am i shared them with a friend so she could grow them. she lived close so i could come see them. She planted hers indoors before i did mine and got a flower first. And here is how it looks. I have read that younger plants can still change flower color when they get bigger but to me this looks like all the pictures i see of shanin online. such as this ANyone know anything else about shanin or petunias?
