Carpobrotus glaucescens, Carpobrotus edulis, good old pigface makes a good ground cover & will stop erosion

They could just keep adding to this so called list of plants What about passion-fruit etc dosnt that contain a Harmala alkaloid Will they add Caryophyllene containing plants because they activate the CB2 receptor & that cant be good

A stint (stent) is like a mesh pipe/ tube they slip in & then open up with a balloon inside a artery or blockage, & help with chest pain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_stent

i think a mass mailing effort is in order Just send your member of Parliment/Ombudsman A Turd In A Box , after all we put up with their shit

Yeah was down for a while today for me also, probably telstra's lines or a server update ? Amazonian if in doubt bios settings will have a default or fail safe setting you can load A common driver error problem can be graphics driver so its best to update to the latest driver for your video card or on board graphics

Dont worry about the rainbows, its the cute fluffy kittens that have a secret agenda

glad this was bumped up fell in love with your pachanoi monstrosa i think a scopulicola monstrosa would look even more amazing

think this is ok to mention in the thread as i thought it may be why HHH uses prickly pear in their caktus powder that was mentioned early last year 3-Methoxytyramine From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 3-Methoxytyramine 3-Methoxytyramine (3-MT), also known as 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenethylamine, is a metabolite of the neurotransmitter dopamine formed by the introduction of a methyl group to dopamine by the enzyme catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT). 3-MT can be further metabolized by the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO) to form homovanillic acid (HVA), which is then typically excreted in the urine. 3-Methoxytyramine is also naturally found in the prickly pear (genus Opuntia).[1]

No i do love the look of them but i picked my cuzco up as a replacement for some bridgesii that arrived hollow with rot I didnt get a reply when i asked if i was sent cuzcoensis by mistake (ebay )

^^^^^^ The large main central one upward & one downward spine is another thing i have noticed, spines are very delicate while growing & easily knocked off, once they age & whiten slightly they are another story Also notice a slight resemblance to my despined Browningia hertlingiana behind it in my second pic

im no expert but after studying a couple of my own plants, pics & descriptions online here are my thoughts Not just the darkness but also the thickness length arrangement & taper of the spine at the base. V notching skin appearance & texture would be other things to look for

Ok i picked up some seed from ebay, first batch i planted a couple of yrs back when i first joined here i grabbed some pachanoi, bridgesii & peruvianus. Well My labels rubbed off but im sure only some pach & bridgesii germinated i eventually picked out some of the better plants & re potted a few It may be a bit early to tell but i was wondering if anyone would like to have a go at a ID on this young plant around 2yo i think i have my suspicions but would like to get opinions from others who grow from seed here is a pic of another from the same batch of seed i put next to a old bit of roo carcus my 8yo landscaped the garden with lol cheers mac

I have seen this one called The knobby monstrose form but the spines look like Cereus aethiops

yes you want them to dry out & scar over for a couple of weeks before being in prolonged wet conditions, otherwise rot can set in just save some rainwater & water the mother as usual without wetting where it had the pup removed

I just use a sharp butchers or fishing knife, put the cuts in a dry place & put the pot out of the rain until it heals & scars over

Cheers Slybacon sorta makes me wish i took the offer when they were in town last year for a measly $100 i could have taken advantage of this, the only catch was i had to pay to hook it to the grid It shits me when they put limits on solar & water Schemes, usually people with a good salary jump in first so its the people who cant afford it at the time & would benefit the most who miss out in the end

I like them & plan to use a couple out the front on my nature strip as drunks & teenagers usually pull out anything else i plant out there

Conspiracy-Theories-That-Turned-Out-To-Be-True

Sorry heffa that ones not in my yard im not much good with anadenanthera or mimosa IDs, it would have set seed by now if i remember ill go back & have a look Mutant yeah i stuck that loph on to see if it would take , it had rehydrated but both lophs on the young myrtillocactus have stalled , ill eventually regraft them if they dont pick up now that i have moved them out of full sun

I just thought id post a few pics of this seasons action i just liked how the afternoon sun caught the spines n this group & a nice old pach i spotted in someones front yard

cheers Thats Gymnocalycium Baldianum (Dwarf chin)

Cool had silky bantams for a while now & have never seen anything like that before

The damaged one is the one that split during spring, i did nothing to intervene it has not effected it at all

Ok just a quick update on the grafts (pic taken b4 xmas) grafted on 27th 28th sep 2009 i did attempt a rough hand pollination to see if they will set seed

I would scrape up all the soil into a good sized ice cream container, im sure some will still germinate
