If koehresii is a Difusa & variegata is a variety of williamsii, what is a variegated koehresii?

Icaros, Scop x Psycho0. Edit - i can store pollen in the freezer if one flowers before the other, right? I'm super excited to cross these guys.

My A. myriostigma - I have had this one for about 16 years.

what does a gay horse eat? haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiii

I finally thought of a shit joke. Did you hear about the constipated mathematician? He had to work it out with a pencil.

P's Dog 4 Pat Uri - thank you so much Alice you sexy chemist! What I said was a bit blunt. Apologies bio. Alice is so beautiful and very accurate like all chemists. To save you the equipment for destructive distillation, the alkaloidal loss and the terrible clean ups - roll it up into a cigarette and smoke it, as that is the same thing. Dig? Perhaps you should examine steam distillation. Pyrolysis is using the sledge hammer to crack the nut. Peace to you bio. Respect and love to you Alice. P's Dog ends.

What's red and bad for your teeth? A brick

These are my 3 validus plants first one is the clone growing through the shed and the other two are Mr Fields other clone!

Hi Guys, I am putting together a website about Lophophora now and i´ve already started. Everything is still very small but I´ve added a description for Lophophora Williamsii in German and in English on lophophora.de and would like to add descriptions of every single variety, including pics too. Both English and German. So yeah, if anyone of you has some pics that I can post, please let me know. Wont add any names if not requested so no reason to be concerned about Privacy. Well yeah, that´s basically it. Want to make this a pretty good website and would love to get some pics of the rarer varieties. I do have a couple of pics from my own plants but nothing compared to the large amount of pics I have from trichocereus. Thanks. bye Eg

My A. coahuilense has been interesting - in 2011 it started to pup, unusually, from the growing point - the pups had spines, which this species doesn´t usually. The pups now completely obscure the original stem.

A. caput-medusae started from seed about 3 years ago - recently flowered. One of the few flowering plants on its own roots.

Tragedy. Time for poison.

What's brown and smells funny? clown poo...

Generally speaking, you may be able to get a miniscule amount of alkaloids out if they are in free base form, but most is going to be trapped in the cellular structure of the plant material and unlikely to volatise very well, unless you burn it in which case you'll get all sorts of oily combustion product shit ("tar") condensing and contaminating the tiny amount of desired compound that may come out. Much easier and more efficient to do a a/b extraction for protonatable amine-type alkaloids or a steam distillation or solvent extraction for essential oils etc. That solvent, whether water or organic, helps pull soluble compounds out of the plant material and into solution. Solvent extraction is quite efficient if you choose your solvent and processing conditions well. For example, just think how well a solvent such as hot water extracts caffeine from tea or coffee. Sure it pulls some tannins and stuff too, but it leaves 99+% of the depleted plant material behind. That's a pretty efficient extraction. I don't see your example working very well, but It's good to think outside the box.

What's the difference between a G-spot and a golf ball ? An Australian man will actually search for a golf ball.

A mushroom walks into a bar and the bartender says, "We don't serve your type here" and the Mushroom asks, "Why not? I'm a Fun- gi"

Personally i have been pondering the folly of property law of late. I just keep coming back to a movie quote from my youth that rings rings as true now as ever. "Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee: Well, you see, Aborigines don't own the land.They belong to it. It's like their mother. See those rocks? Been standing there for 600 million years. Still be there when you and I are gone. So arguing over who owns them is like two fleas arguing over who owns the dog they live on." And it is certainly not unique to these lands (now labeled australia) it is universal as it applies to traditional peoples everywhere,

Respect Money should never buy respect or trust. Much to my own personal disadvantage, I've never had it in me to respect people for the amount of money they possess or are perceived to possess. If I think someone is a goats arse, their bank balance or material possessions are not a factor in that decision. Goats arses populate all positions on the financial bell curve but I'm not prejudiced, I hate all goats arses equally. I hate reducing things to a monetary value too, there were two times I took money from a member here for something I produced that was desirable at the time. He was very insistent and wanted to compensate me, so I relented to prevent any bad mojo between us. I felt like a whore after accepting the money though. I think/hope I have evened the score with what I given back to him & others. I don't see it as a competition, more of Karmic balance sheet. What comes around must go around or we all move down to a lower vibration.

A bit of repotting and moving some things around for spring. Im trying to find a spot in the yard that gets some shade during the day.

Every flower I put master B's scop pollen on last year took. It will be the first pollen I use this year unless my first 2 plants happen to flower at exactly the same time and they're ones I want to cross with each other. Unless I have a second scop flowering this year I will also use this pollen on the some of the scop flowers that already has buds on it.

hello -cresty festy, what a coolname huh -dwarf skullcap? - grow your own way spach - icaro mit weeds - comfy comfrey going into groundy groundy - one,two something blue - nitro dood grown 'lings....znnnnnnggg - sierra blue for you thank-you for watching another episode of memebers gardens
