Producing Seeds with Self-Sterile Cacti - How to do it
Dreamwalker. replied to Evil Genius's topic in Cacti & Succulents
I have been experimenting crossing and epi with a Cleistocactus via the cement method (they were the only 2 in flower) both seem to be setting fruit, I also self crossed them..............the epi rejected this self cross but accepted the Cleistocactus x..........the Cleistocactus accepted either.............still early days...but I came across this post on http://www.bcss.org.uk/foruma/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=160588 "There was an article in the NCSS journal in 1948 suggesting that 'wide crosses' were a sure way to get plants to 'self' if I remember right Gymnocalycium was one of the most popular genera to use." -

Dreamwalker. replied to Evil Genius's topic in Chill Space
Thats interesting stuff..................so your in the south?..................Have landslides increased?....................and if so, is that because of more rain or more residental development in slip prone area's........................?

The Great Global Warming/Cooling Thread Part 2
Dreamwalker. replied to Evil Genius's topic in Chill Space
So Waterboy................do you research core samples?.............is it more of an interest you follow? "the surface of the ocean turned acidic over a period of weeks or months and global temperatures rose by 5 degrees centigrade – all in the space of about 13 years." I was suprised to read this.............it sounds really amegidon.............not at all like a consevative researcher..............sometimes I think humanity needs a good sharp shock...................we have so much potential both as indivduals and collectivly .....but like this gift of life and nature...............its all just wasted ..................I think the core issue is this corporate dominance...............the baboon beating its chest.......................we are stuck in a loop......................can't step beyond our instinct..................... -
So I have been trying to figure out how to make the pics come up BIG! ............any hints apriciated........................

Anybody have any idea?
Dreamwalker. replied to vegetarium's question in Cactus & Succulent Identification
my vote would be cereus too...................though I'm a bit confused about the lack of spines......................either way a beautiful cactus..............dust the cut end with some flower of sulfur and plant in a river sand gritty potting mix.....water rarely .................or set it aside for a month and plant it.................cereus have kiwi like fruit................. -

why do tree's rule?
Dreamwalker. replied to DiscoStu's topic in Creativity, Spirituality & Philosophy
have you slept in the virgin woods?..................and heard their song at twilight? -
"The blossom tree spirit sang the praises of the kusha grass spirit: ‘Spirits of the trees, for all our mighty power, we knew not what to do, while the humble kusha grass spirit had wit to save my home for me. Truly, we should choose our friends without considering whether they are our superiors, equals, or inferiors, making no distinction. Whether they be tree, bird, or grass, each according to his strength, can help a friend in his hour of need.'

Everyone 'is now polluted'....who didn't know this?
Dreamwalker. replied to Dreamwalker.'s topic in Sustainable Technologies & Ethical Living
But how do you know the right balance?...................I guess to much chelation could deplete your body of certain micro-nutrients..........and theres so many different things your want to remove..................take 'A' to remove the fire retardent.......'B' to remove the teflon............(which aparently we all have)....................and an endless list....not to mention evil GE's..................the best I think you can do is fine a little corner somewhere......as far away as you can from the high concentration zones (cities, industry)..............and grow you own......................... -
