Grow diary: Incarvillea sinensis

[Grow diary: Incarvillea sinensis]

All praise goes to the dood, he germinated them, which is the hard part.

[Grow diary: Incarvillea sinensis]

I've got a couple of fresh seed pods off my plants, and there's a few more coming. If you want to try them I'm happy to send them out.

I was underwhelmed by the 2 different 20x extracts in terms of analgesia.

It's a pretty little plant with nice flowers though, and quite hardy. Quite delicate looking.

Are they in full sun? If so, and you can move them to part shade or stick a shadecloth over them it will help.

Oh shit. That's so sad.

I had many great conversations with him via pm and always had good trades too.

I hope he's found peace on the other side.

[Ipomoea purpurea??]

That's indica.

Good advice there sally.

Funny you mention how orderly things look...if only you could have seen it a few months ago...

One of the unintended benefits of being temporarily unemployed is that I've had plenty of time to spend in the garden! I thought I'd better get some photos before it degenerates again!

[pc or pachanoi? id these babys. argue at least.]

Is it possible to have a proper argument over pc?

 

[Meet up: Sydney, Central Coast, Newcastle]

I'll book it in the calendar.

[pc or pachanoi? id these babys. argue at least.]

I'd say pc.

She pumps out basal pups like nobody's business too. I'll have a couple up for grabs soon.

Yeah! I hedge my bets, I keep some grafts in a fishtank like that superkabuto but some live out in the open. I guess mice were having a christmas party.

Hi Folks.

Cabin fever is starting to set in after several days of rainy weather, but at least the garden is looking good.

Here's a few pics.

Some baby Psychotrias - Carthagenensis and Nexus are doing well, the shipibo and viridis are a bit slower to sprout.

Cannas loving the rain, Caapi, Morning Glory and Obtusifolia down the back, Psycho0 to the right. Down back to the left there is peruvianus "GH", bridgesii "Ben" and peruvianus "KK2152".

Incarvillea sinensis with Budleia.

Iochroma australe doing well, the small Acacia simplex has stalled, maybe it's too cold down here for it? There's an Ecuador Pink Brugmansia in there too, but the sanguineas I sprouted from Bogfrog's seeds have been shredded constantly by caterpillars. They're almost like sacrificial anodes, the caterpillars eat them exclusively and wont touch anything else! They must be yummy...

Chillies: Yellow 7 pots, Chocolate habs, Brain strain 7 pots, peruvianus, yowie, eileen, terscheckii, ss01xss02, super pedro and some kanna in this bed with red Brugmansia sanguinea from Interbeing and an Ecuador pink Brug from an old lady in my neighbourhood.

My favourite Hibiscus: "Pink Rays".

This Frangipani has nostalgic value to me. It is a cutting from a tree my Grandad had in his back yard which was there since the 1950's, and it brings back good memories of my childhood. I'm glad to have these cuts to keep it alive.

Morning Glory "Heavenly Blue" and Brugmansia "Sacred Sunset" from Bullit. There's a Turbina Corymbosa hiding in there somewhere too.

Some of Interbeing's awesome crosses.

Astrophytum asterias "Superkabuto" graft and some Lophophora williamsii "Koehres".

Some Lophs that got munched by some creature on Christmas day...

macrogonus.

Well, that's enough for now. I'll start documenting the rest of the collection for posterity soon.

Hope you enjoy these pics. It's a modest garden but it's kept me sane ( kind of )...

(edited to get the right cacti descriptions in the right photos)

[Top notch Valerian suppliment]

Most Valerian extracts. I haven't tried validol.

[Top notch Valerian suppliment]

Tolerance builds quickly though if used several days in a row.

Dig up!

[What did you do in your sacred garden today?]

Love your garden horus.

[What did you do in your sacred garden today?]

Checked out the most psychedelic looking weevil on my obtusifolia.

So vivid.

[clone one]

That's a real beauty.

[Permanent search for Bulk trichocereus, will travel far.]

Fair call man. You do the miles, you get the smiles.

[new years eve 2015. whats on your mind.]

I'm back home, sitting in my backyard with some glowsticks,blocking up at the stars. Drinking beer and enjoying my last year here. Wondering where I'll be next year.

Hope you're ok Tarenna. I'm kinda in a similar boat to you right now...

[new years eve 2015. whats on your mind.]

I'm sober til at least 10:30 due to the other half drinking port out of a coffee mug since lunch, which means I'm driving.

[new years eve 2015. whats on your mind.]

Have a great night wert, echoing all the above too!

[don't cha hate it when..]

Dchiw your insurance windfall evaporates because you have 2 lots of car rego due, unpaid overdue school fees, overdue council rates, water rates, power bills, and a mortgage payment. Fuckin unemployment sucks.

[don't cha love it when...]

Dcliw you pocket $8k on an insurance claim and do the work yourself, and even more dcliw you don't die in the process, even though it was pretty risky!

[don't cha hate it when..]

Dchiw some c**t ringbarks one if your favourite old obtusifolia trees in your local bushland. Hope you enjoy yourself whoever you are.
