    Malverde >>> which country? Is it Isreal?

    I would love to trade some seeds from over there with some from my country, Greece

    if you like!

    shonman>>

    I dont know why you are asking if I am growing them well.

    Sure they get mealies and the leaves/rosette is stressed as some point (didn't use protection ), bit what is correctly?

    the roots are routinely uprooted and they always increase in size

    and the seed production was somewhat 3x this year that of the previous year

    so, if they roots are becoming bigger and the number of fruits and size of fruits increases

    and cuttings take

    then I guess I am doing okey growing them

    I guess we will see: I plan to uproot them today, will put up pics

    they say (growing mandrake) its difficult... well it might be difficult for colder places or southern hemisphere

    .. maybe people in colder climates should try with mandragora officinalis/officinarium but I cant help with this

    I think m.automnalis is pretty straight forward for my climate to grow...

    hey, dont let my shit confuse ya

    I am an original , not a regular greek, not a regular sabber as well

    I am raving idiot , and that's something to be proud of!

    Okey I will say it: Australia is not a real country actually. its like USA without the prestige.

    greece is as old as india and peru .... so lets be proud for a random event

    greeks are alright, as long they're not they regular greek idiots...

    greece having so many islands, and villages and being mountainous and all

    still reserves some "authenticity" OK

    I choose to see Greece as the place, the waters, soil, mountains, woods, flora and animals.

    thats greece. also greece is a place in the map...

    greek culture, now its another things

    and its funny/interesting/whatever

    that such a small country would have so many differences from town to town and island to island...

    I still dont see something to be proud of...

    OK greece is a cool country...

    feeling LUCKY, but not PROUD, to be here at this place, this time...

    lucky lucky sagi

    here a song

    legend composer sing 3 songs in a row

    So you were born in greece? how old did you leave to oz?

    too many issues here to discuss...

    1. I could never understand ethnic pride. why be proud about something that is totally random. I guess its easy to be proud of being greek if you only come here for holidays...

    2. new arrivals (new immigrants) aint so strange to "hate" greece... I mean, their home-land more or less forced them to leave. Kicked them out... I could have left years ago. But I love it here. sea, mountains, perfect weather for gardening... Berlin is nice, but.....

    3. I dont hate Greece, but I am not proud to be greek ... If something, a greek should be ashamed of the low-levels this ancient civilization has reached... So I dont hate greece, but I dont really "like" greeks.. would be nice to have a second homeland, and in a way , I consider Berlin,Germany it.. (have lived for couple months there)

    4. what ever ones' say, immigrants are doomed to slowly loose their bonds with the homeland, especially if they dont visit at all. 1st generation immigrants are still 'greeks' that slowly hybridise, but greekness or whatever fades in second gen people.. Nationality is one of the most overrated things... Now culture is another thing.

    5. Be proud of what you have archieved on your own!

    6. I have a friend that moved to oz and is a new arrival. She was born in oz though and left when one, so she had the nationality. I think she is Melbourne .. her son is still here, but I think he will be going there sometime soon..

    ^^^

    should root easily since it was on a stock. could easily make two of them even

    ants have been stealing most of my seed last couple of years

    they take both the seed and fruit flesh

    that was not true for mandrake fruit though - they seemed totally indifferent to the seeds, but so inclined to the sweet flesh

    I haven't been picking my lopho seed either, maybe I am stupid

    or rather lazy

    Hmmmm liquid ant baits.... I wonder if that works... I have a huge problem with ants in my roof: nearly all pests are helped by them

    http://www.terro.com/ants-common-species

    interesting stuff... I wonder how many species I got around here.... At last 3-4 I would say...

    oh :) really greek or a 2nd generation ozzie-greek hybrid? ever been in greece?

    "patrida einai ekei poy einai h kardia" (greeklish)

    it might be cool to claim you are greek when you are abroad

    but really

    only nationalists feel that "proud" way when living here...

    if you ask me, its good to be greek to come every few years for holidays

    and its even better to have a second nationality..

    FUCK GREECE ;)

    2 small echinopsis seynesii crests and azurocereus/plosocereus crest were cut and rooted by me.

    not fast like trichocereus, but pretty doable. actually the echinopsis , when I received it as a gift to some other order, there where two parts of it that should be buried, in order to pot it up. I refused to do this, I cut the 2 parts, let callous for some time, and rooted them and now I got 3 of them!

    P1130804.jpg

    another brand of echnopsis, crest and slightly variegata..

    P1130805.jpg

    one would think so small cuttings (also done by me) would be impossible to root and rather wither and die...

    well, it seems not! (note this is after they have taken a bit, so they were pretty smaller when potted

    P1130807.jpg

    Nice shits from a columnar pachanoi monstrosa specimen (main column has terminated some time ago so all growth is boosted in those pups)

    P1130810.jpg P1130811.jpg[/url]

    Stenocereus marginatus crest, going normal... This is a very handsome specimen at this point, at least the left one...

    I have no big experience with crests that go normal.. Its usually suggested to cut them normal parts... Have people cut and rerooted the column parts, to perhaps see the column reverting some time afterwards?

    I remember cutting the first column off a pachanoi crest, but this clone (see above) pertains the monstrosity in column form, as it alternates between normal and monster appearance, or terminates at some point.

    But I have had this marginatus crest strain for less than a year so I dont really know whats the score.

    I could use some knowledge or opinions, as I have more than one paradigms I could use this on.

    I also bought an azureocereus/pilosocereus crest with a part normal growth, now cut this off and rooting.. Should be also interesting to help ID the species, if it doesn't go crest

    P1130812.jpg

    a lot with the real myrtillocactus geometrizans crest (melty type)

    the other blue crest supposed being myrti has also produced some thinny columns. I rooted that , it started pupping like crazy, but still no monstrosity. I cut the new little columns, for rooting , again... obviously I am hoping the culumns might revert to crest at some point...

    Philo>

    "melted wax" semi-monstrosa is a named clone deriving from US I think, erect, columnar and monster, sometimes terminates and does interesting shit.

    Reason I said yours doesn't look so much like it is that your seems to terminate more / show wilder monster traits..

    Your specimen kind of looks like something between a clone-A penis TBM and "melted wax semimonstrosa"

    or it could be its something like a melted wax but growth was stunt for years due to clay pot and neglect.. I would like love to see how it evolves after you repot it a nice largish pot.

    here are my 4 initial TBCM's , one's freshly repotted and recentered...

    P1130809.jpg

    Have you noticed TBMCs have less of a up-down orientation compared to other crests/monsters? The phenotype it self sometime forcesd the plant to make pups that decicively go downwards

    P1130799.jpg

    here's the first specimen I propagated through rooting. It rooted pretty fast, cutting was off a graft though (I have noted that cuttings off grafts root faster , statistically, compared to those coming from own root specimens)

    P1130798.jpg

    and here are 4 so far penises coming from TBMCs ... The fat one is areole-less

    Ahhhh Kalymnos... a poor island, compared to most of its neighbouring islands....

    Rumoured to feature some of the most traveled people (lots of immigrants to all the world) and some of the most crazy people...

    Am considering leaving, but its too early to tell... I might stay here and live the real thug life!

    Some doctor friend found an amazingly well paid job in oz, but his wife doesn't want to go, even for a year or so..

    PS: greeks are everywhere, but you know, greeks are idiots... If I ever came to oz, it would be for you people!
