  1. how is it that, people, animals, plants, and basicly any life form, get's often a bad reputation, which is created by uneducated people. this ignorance, at times is the source, for people harming me, and animals. sharks get killed with, blood lust, and the society and media shouts hurray! i don't like for example white ants close to my house, but that doesn't make me hate them generaly. or migrants, they saved australia, and continue to do so, but get dispiesed by a large proportin of citycens. lantana is holding the soil together and avoids as such erosion. it provides abundant food for insects, and it's flowers are beautyfull. i recomand sterile lantana as a landscaping plant! i'm sorry for my spelling, mild dyslexia...
  2. reading you paper, i suddenly had the idea, that medicines form genetic relationships with people. meaning if you have genes far removed from the people of the amazon, those remedies will be less effective. health professionals never take into account that, for many people some drugs don't work, or negative side effects outweigh the positive. in the future, the doctor will look into your genome and than prescribe....
  3. gone! btw, rifat aka four seasons, is the same clone.
  4. one rifat available, pm me for details. pm me as well if you have interest for next year (grown to order).
  5. fp when were this pics taken? for me the tail was almost vertical to the horizon. my post from the 28 oct, is wrong, i observed mercury instead of the comet, i think. i only saw the comet in the mornings, never at evening after perihelion...
  6. yes, try big pots, el boso! and let us know how it's going.
  7. fy & mc, you both make exellent points, one action that can at times overcome "the woodiness" push of the graft, is to re cut, but i can't recall doing this often. in other words you cut the pedro, than the surface will shrink (and inverted), exposing the woody ring. even just the parabolic surface, created by drying, will push any graft off. working with peres, don't forget the trick, with using an old fat peres leave, like a glue bottle, moisterizing the scion.... it's experience that makes good grafts, even watering the peres can push all the grafts off the scions.....
  8. i will try that next time, good info fyzygy! i currently don't have any "slim" pedro, but could try with pups. i will put some of my pedro cut's, indoors, so they produce slim and etiolated growth.
  9. thank you for your response! so i" fatten up" this thread with knowledge, knowledge, i have learned entirely from sab, and some other sites, which don't excist anymore.... members please post more! i long time ago, at an american site, there was a german guy, who once a year started a thread, something like, "who can grow the biggest loph in a given time", and he always won. this inspired me to learn grafting, and to do what, i try to achive with this thread. no doubt all his winning lophs were giants, and he achived that by growing many seeds. i had a very close look at my giant lophs, and noticed something, for the first time, ONE OF THEM IS A BLUE LOPH AND RIPPED! i observed this trait a few times but never as a giant. i have sown out yesterday seeds from the "blue" and will wait what happens. most lophs look very much alike when they are juvenils, but gigantism stands out even when they are young, because they grow bigger faster.... i used up all of my seeds currently, and have going specimens on there own roots, and some young grafts on peres. next batch of seeds, i will share with you, but only, if you tell me you can graft loph's, and have expertise in growing them successfully. the trick to grow lophs is, HYDROPHOBIC SOIL and to water them not often.
  10. i grow cacti since a long time, and have seen a lot of specimens... now that i'm older, i have reduced my ethno workload a lot. i got 3 specimens of giant lophs, which are kept that, only those 3 pollinate each other. once i saw a pic, from the us, which showed super giants (behind the strong steel cage!!), but i never saw them anywhere else. if you are interested in peyote giants, follow this thread. i will have seeds, and grafted ones available. i got no financial motives, just spreading the "giants". the originaly came up from khorens seed.
  11. temperatur is the factor, frozen = good, room temp = bad
  12. it's now visible, after sun set in the west. it's bright (mag -0.5) but i never saw a tail because it sets, before twillight ends.
  13. funny fact regarding snails, pretty much every snail has the spiral going in the same direction. if you find one that, spirals the other way round, it's called a "king snail" and they are said to fetch a lot of money. imagen breeding them, would be very lucrative. very nice link!☺️
  14. i'm mildly dyslexic, so i'm worried now regarding no 5, maybe the white dot should face upwards. if any body knows for sure, tell us. there is a very old post about this, were an american member (a very famous cacti geek) let's us know this. he plants loph seeds with tweezers.... trout his name is late edit another thing i remember now as well is, if some seeds don't want to germinate, they at times benefit from being exposed to the sun for a few days. now this is not an easy operation (don't cook them in the coin bag), and i have never done this. people secure the coin bag at a bright spot.... fresh loph seed germinate often already after 3 days only, older seeds (and not kept in the butter compartment) take longer. i recently had given up on some seeds, and covered them with a thin layer of sieved mix, and they all came up after that. i did not use a dome, but using a dome helps germination. if you get lucky and you get an albino or varigated seedling, then the dome keeps them alive for longer, one has to graft them very soon or they die.
