Happy birthday Mystical Oyster Hope you have a great day man.

Today I harvested some seed from my Astrophytum caput-medusae , which flowered for the first time this year. I don´t know if this species is self- fertile (who does?) - otherwise it will be hybrid. But I got 20 big, black seeds.

Hi all, welcome to 2018! Acacia Courtii Seedlings for sale in bulk only this time A.C Bulk Pack - $120 inc postage 8 x Acacia courtii 40mm tubes - $100 P & H $20 Express Min. order of 8. If you are looking for smaller numbers or individual plants I suggest you contact the larger ethno retailers as I believe they will have some ready soon. Unfortunately no post to WA, NT or TAZ. Australia Only As you may know this is a very specially tree that has a limited population so hopefully these go to people with some land that can plant them out to ensure species survival long into the future! I would recommend re-potting them into something slightly larger and then planting into the ground after summer or if you can tend to them daily you could plant them out now in a semi shaded area watering daily. These trees are inoculated with their homebase rhizobia and are a picture of health. Kept under light shade cloth. PM for enquiry, Communacacian

So here is a graft I did a while ago I think it's been more than a month now actually but I'm really happy. This is my first graft to take to sooo Yay! Before: After: Update 12/9/2015: Update 1/16/2016:

Just be wary of buying from overseas vendors as they have to file a customs declaration, this is where most will be stopped. Sending internally is no problem for microscopy purposes.

Moyster! Have a great day :-)

I'm jealous ;)

As long as I've been a good boy and I'm lucky enough that Santa visits me, yes

Trichocybins looks like eileen ;-)

I thought I found a contender to beat the 'number of seeds in one pod' prize but alas, only 54 seeds in this one ;) This may have been one generation from the original. But I wouldn't want to jump the gun and claim I have found a mutant super hybrid capable of producing thousands of seeds per season.... And may be the answer to world hunger.. Just sayin

2nd is good for me

I tried this with a loph graft the other day, I reckon it's getting much swollen. Nowhere to go but up.

Allright so this is what I'm talking about upside. what were doing here is removing the aeroles and there rna witch basically mean the vascular tissues won't bother trying to reach the aerole because it isn't there. just the same as the aeroles rna won't send out any messages to be contacted. it's not just a one way street with cacti pups. there is a link between the rna of aeroles and the rna of vascular tissues witch means they meet somewhere in the middle not just grown out from the vascular bundle, and not just retrieved by an aerole. this will ensure that the scion gets everything and there will be no stalls in growth or maintinance of the gafted plant. take note folks. I hope this is the right pic cause the hosting site is giving me the shits. constantly redirecting me to "one black way" or someshit. haven't looked cause I'm afraid what I'll see can't be unseen but it's doing it flat out. arrrgghhh! anyway the scion is a melted wax bridgesii. she's going in a much larger pot over the next few days and will have an abundance of slow release mixed through the pot. be happy cause happy can't be without you. edit: oh yeah, and take note how I leave as much green skin on the stock as possible as this is where the photosynthesis occurs. but most know that. but just in case you didn't. cool.

And this one is a taquimbalensis

Thursday (2 posts above) same plants 2 days later, hopefully most will form seeds some old plants Plants from the post above, pollinated today

^^^^^ yesterday's (same ones in the above post) Todays.........

Yep,, what DS said :D

I like both fancypants. You definitely have talent :-)

These plants give me so much enjoyment, i thought id share them. Been collecting them for a few years, all are bought or traded for. This is the first year I've planted seeds from these plants and astro seeds I've bought. Theres so many x's and cultivars to collect and breed its endless. For me these plants are living jewels. There accommodations are a bit budget atm, temporary set up, they do grow well where they are and i will be replicating the same conditions when they are set up permanently in their new home. Been gathering seed Some new additions Been feeding them every few weeks when i water them sparingly, will stop watering at all soon as the weather starts to cool.

not saying you should but far from a lawsuit against you, technically you could report the noxious weed infestation to the council & your neighbor would be required by law to remove it themselves.. That would kind of make you the cunty neighbor though..

If you have negotiated with them and they don't care, poison it. If it is on your side of the fence you have every right to poison what is on 'your' side. If that happens to affect what is on the other side woops. But that's me, and I am a bit of an arsehole when it comes to neighbours that don't care.

Its torstens secret way of hinting that he hates your guts. I wont even mention the words I'm seeing.

I wasnt sure where to post this, but grafter-extrordinaires plz check out this crazy video (mute it, the song is horrible) This guy is taking the embryo out of a cactus seed and grafting it onto pere straight away. Athough not necessay, its amazing to watch him work so delicately, and kind of inspiring http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_GMgAz0WS7g&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D_GMgAz0WS7g

Would thing be the plant we call "Super pedro" ? This one has had me puzzled for some time and i had just assumed it was a large scop variant or hybrid. The super pedro i have looks to be the same as the plant pictured on pg214 of SP3rd, it is just hard to tell with the black and white pics. If it is the same plant, do you have any further info on it as im sure im not the only one who thinks super pedro is a scop variant. pics..... Flowers "super pedro" and scop regular pach and super
