whilst travelling through a northern jungle a friend had a beetle take up residence in his ear... after the usual techniques failed to remove it he syringed cooking oil into his ear and once satisfied the crunchy critter had drowned and was dead after, considerable hours waiting anxiously, he syringed fresh water into his ear repeatedly and eventually flushed out and removed the dead beetle! maybe try that on your cactus? oil coats and blocks the breathing holes of the beetles exoskeleton...and the beauty is its environmentally friendly:-). cheers, BL

yeah they been stashed in the dark n dry, thanks for that mate will grab some perlite n verm. and give em a lash. would be good to try my hand at some grafting if they sprout... got a fair load of Trichs. around that would make good graft stock candidates. might see some pics from me in the future. cheers, BL

Howdy y'all, geez havn't been here in a while... hope all is well out there. just curious as to the viability of cacti seeds as they get older.. I've got some Loph. willimasi seed that I recieved from SAB about 4 years ago, is it worth having a crack at growing old seeds or should I just buy some fresh seed? any thoughts appreciated. cheers, BL

well count me in fellas, sounds like a sweet dealio to me... I keep saying to myself "no dave, no more freakin plants till you have a job and can afford to buy lunch let alone new garden friends" but alas I can't turn down a good deal. cheers, BL

seed offer the potential, but as far as my learnings at TAFE have been going most comercialially available Passiflora species are grafted onto more managable rootstocks due to, as Rev noted, their nasty suckering habits... I'll have a look through my notes, find out what species is an acceptable understock... just for curiositys sake. cheers, BL

oooh yeah fair bit of contact there.. maybe by the looks in an area of certain sensitivity... I have decided I am in love.. my quest begins now, I shall chase this beauty down across the oceans and the lands of this earth and make her my bride :D If you never hear from me again not to worry...just think of me in the brugmansia tree.... BL

package from Teo arrived this afternoon. 5:30pm stem removed from bud, bud chopped, 2 cones packed and punched in succession, taking thelema's lead and holding for a count of 10. Smoke smooth, fairly tasteless(tainted the flavour of my pepsi but, made it taste sorta like it had dirt in it..go figure?) immeadiate noticible relaxation, more pronounced upon standing up, ALSMOST salvia like yet quite different...but as Apoth said: "You know when you pull a cone and you get that feeling straight away? Like that, but definitely didn't break through to the "oh man I'm stoned" stage." definately interesting and enjoyable. One thing comparible to MJ is... I sat down and played my bass for approx half hour session and like with MJ it improves my fingering speed and sense of and rythm(ofcourse maybe it just sounds better to me when im in an altered state) the effects had completely worn off after that half hour. a positive experience, subtle but fun hmmm well there you go.... Interesting find there Teo, thanks for sharing it with me and I hope my input is useful. Keep us updated on your progress with any possible extractions as i believe this plant has quite some potential yet! chers from the pit, BL

I think smogs and others have recommended using those cotton bud things (little white sticks with fluffs of cotton on either end) for pollen collection, they are clean n sterile straight from the pack which is a bonus i suppose :-) cheers, BL

and on that note, any sydney ethnobots out there want to meet up some stage, maybe a picnic or some such in a suitable location? botanic gardens for instance? any other suggestions welcome... let me know, I'm no leader and hence a hopeless organiser but if people are keen we should set a date and a place... my attempt to reach out :-)cheers from the pit, BL
