    What does the resin smell like when you burn it Mr ferret?

    EDIT: For spelling

     

    If you are able to familiarise yourself with the "burn" test then this is a pretty good way to set yourself on a path to answering the questions you have by yourself. It does require some experience, but an invaluable test all the same

    could it be the mosaic virus? whatever it is, I like the sight of those old variegated leaves...

    sprouting from the base.. fast forward 3 years and it will be a mess. oh well! :) 

     

    do you think I should prune them? I have been pruning them 2 plants that are in the ground a lot..

    Hopefully you've left them in, when larger parts of the vine higher up are pruned I've found very little new growth opportunities come from the pruned areas. of course they will shoot, but I think the best opportunities will come from those sprouts

    It's actually Peniocereus serpentinus, IMHO. I'd put my house on it.

     

    I've grown it for years. Nice nocturnal fragrance and spiny flowers (at the base) comes from Mexico and naturalises in Australia.

     

    so are they the same plant? do I have the wrong ID on mine or are they 2 different plants? heres a better pic,

  4. I've had mixed results with Calea Z, smoking/ drinking and in capsules.

     

    10 grams a day over at least a week has given some interesting experiences...

    I usually do this in the lead up to festivals and the like to take advantage of crashing and sleeping with other things going on...

     

    Leaves should be used/ harvested after flowering and there are extracts available too

  6. I'm with you Skellum, (the bit about how well will they do over winter). i suspect they will hibernate and thrive come spring, my vines and viridis are still growing here in Sydney though we've just had our coldest week so far...

     

    hmmm,

     

    if you do decide to initiate your crazy plan i'd consider driving my van up to meet you, or co drive so it could possible be a 36 hour trip (12 hours of digging is my estimate ,) it would be work dependent but im flexible - weekdays suit me best. id be happy with any smaller off shoots that had touched and shot roots into the ground of which there may be a few? plus a bush or 2...

    might just be a late night brain fart so pm in the near future  ,-)

     

    I have roof racks too

     

    and a tow ball

     

    hmmm

     

    and yeah, good luck with the Sale

  7. yeah definitely Cleistocactus,

     

    I found a clump out bush a short while back... seems to grow up to 2m high with white though orange to flame red flowers... at aboout 2m they fall over and shoot new columns like the damaged one is doing in your second pic

     

    i'll find a pic of the ones i saw which presumably started out as a single plant...

  8. i planted several rooted cuttings last winter - all did well over summer (sydney)... i have others in questionable locations that have stalled for about 18 months suggesting they are pretty sturdy and will probably move into pots for new homes.

    depending how much rootstock comes up you could put into a pot to keep in the sunniest spot til spring
