Picked amongst p.subs and discovered to be different during the sort... possible stuntziI due to ring on stem OR is this a good example of all magic mushrooms bruise blue but not all mushrooms that bruise blue are magic?

Soil mix used = 20% vermiculite/ 50% sand/ 30% potting mix [approx] + pebbles / small rocks on top The time difference in original crooked penis loph to graft: [dates of when photos were taken] Crooked Penis Loph - 18/12/2012 Grafted Penis Cactus - 12/04/2013 I performed the graft on the 10/03/2013 I am personally impressed by how easily the graft took and how much growth it has had in such a short amount of time... merely 4 weeks basically.

LOL yep i'm def an honest sort who isn't interested in exploiting anyone for anything... unfortunately some people take advantage of me being so compassionate but such is life. I most certainly kept the base, I should take a photo of it tomorrow, along with a photo of the graft [been a long day didn't get home til late and am ready for bed] I am still experimenting in the best position for the base to be, where it is atm doesn't get much light but still some, but I think I need to introduce it into more direct light, same as my graft but i turn it every day a bit at a time so it gets even light and it seems to be working fine so far!

Just an update, I'll take some more pics tomorrow to show comparison... but I decided to give it the slice and attempt a graft onto a Echinopsis bridgesii 'Montrosa' - AKA Penis Plant. I'm actually quite impressed with how well it worked and can see it has grown a good amount since the graft was done. This image was taken 7 days after the graft attempt.

ahh well no surprise there it was from wikipedia after all ;-) as far as i can tell the leaves aren't hairy so i'm thinking brug too!

"It occurs throughout mid-latitude mainland Australia, but not in the tropical north, nor in the cooler, wetter, southwest and southeast corners. It thus occurs in every mainland state except Victoria." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_tobacco

ok after a bit of research.... it seems native tobacco is found in nearly all states and territories in Australia, except for Victoria which is where this is located. Now I am well aware this could have changed, however based on the climate is it likely? I guess once it grows large enough and goes to flower we will be more certain

hmmm they both look similiar from some google images i just looked up but im not certain.... other plants that also look similiar are thickhead weed or tamarillo ? but im not convinced it's them either???

Hi all, A friend of mine had this pop up in her garden bed randomly and neither of us have any clue as to what it may be ? Any ideas? Thanks

interesting... ive had a hard time finding any other pics of lophs doing this but have been told its common if they dont get enough light... what suggestions/tips can people offer me to nurse this little freak back to it's own flavour of normality? :-)

hi everyone... just a curious question about my little cactus here... i bought it around 6 yrs ago off the old swapnsell forum the corroboree had along with another one which died on me [rot] last year. when i first bought them they did not appear columnar and resemembled small buttons like i expected. then after a couple years they started to grow up and i thought ah maybe they arent peyote afterall.. until this year when a good friend suggested to me that it could be a mutation? i didn't think much of it until this little button formed a few months ago and it has grown at a rapid rate... thoughts?

hey all! i'd love to join the band wagon on this one but depends on the date.. ill keep posted for sure! i did a google on the jenolan caves and had a chuckle when i saw this webpage load and i quote "jenolan caves magic happens here" i mean seriously how can i not say no to that! http://www.jenolancaves.org.au/

hey goldtop i've got a few growing as well if your interested in any more at all? i'm in sa mate I could send a cutting or the full plant ill have to go measure what ive got though

wow it is good to see other people discussing these feelings with peace of mind... i experience this frequently and one thing that really triggers it off is a strong emotional experience; even if it's just from watching a touching movie or seeing a sad story on the news... generally no-one else is around when it happens which in some ways comforts me as i do feel a bit odd when it happens sometimes... i almost feel like im going to cry for no good reason sometimes and i can definitely see how a psychiatrist would diagnose it as an illness and prescribe zombie inducing meds.. i feel a lot more at ease after reading this post!
