Hey guys...... I just wanted to thank you all for the responses I got awhile ago ... on... why my HBWR wasn't flowering........ I repoted in a larger pot...... and cut my plant down a bit..... and PRESTO....!!!!!....... less than a month down the line....... and FLOWERS.......... sooooo proud........

Dang... I never win these things....!!!! Congrats Foolsbreath....!!!! ...and thanks for the comp Apothecary!!!!!

Very Interested..... Please count me in...!!!! Thanks Apoth..!!!!

Hi volcanicplug.... Yeah... that actually makes a lot of sense.... as I have been trying to find where the mother plants could be .... and there does not seem to be any mature acacia's that look the same as the younger plants (1) but heaps of the more mature Acacia's (2) with the less "broad" phyllodes......... !!! ...so I'm guessing you're correct with the assumption that the younger plants are also leiocalyx !!!..... cause there doesn't seem to be any mature plants with the green/grey branchlets....!!! ...I'll just have to look around again to check...!!!! Thanks for the reply....!!!!!

Hey Guys..... wondering if any of you could help me out.... Been seeing these acacia's around my home and work area for the last while.... and I have really wanted to know what species they are..... tried to have a look on Wattle net ... but to no luck.... I just suck at IDing plants...!!!! Both acacia's are in the Gold Coast area....!!! 1) This plant is only about a year old..... and has finally started flowering! I have noticed a few of the that came up in the last year...!!! 2) This plant is a lot older... If anyone would be so kind as to help me identify these beautiful plants..... I would be greatly apreciated!!!! Human

Hi PD..... Thanks for the reply...... I had a look on wattle web... and Acacia binervia does look a lot like number 2...!!!! I am very interested in acacia number 1 .... it has amazing phyllodes.... some of them are so broad as you can see in pic 2 ...anyone else have any takes on the ID's.....????

1.5kg of Pach purchased from Rev boiled down and reduced ended up being the most entertaining day of my life....!!!!!! ....as said earlier by Teo.... I don't measure by size.... but more by weight....!!!!.... and this is all dependent on strain and conditions grown in I guess....!!!!!

....why not just go get from your local Chem Supply Store......!!!! (have a look in the yellow pages....!!!!!) ...I bought a litre of isopropyl alcohol for about $20..... and I bet it's the purest your gonna find anywhere out there....!!!!! .....I went in with cash...... and no one asked any questions......!!!!!

....yep.... in your region you would want to wait till it gets really cold.... and wet...... then look around for subs...... if you do a search around here ...... you will find many pics...... and get a good idea of the type of environment they grow in......!!!!!! ....just make sure that you got the right thing....... as you said your life is worth more than that....!!!!!

... hmmmm.... I wouldn't dare try eat any of those....... !!!!! .... firstly..... where are you......... ...and secondly...... at the moment you are only going to find dung loving mushrooms that are of any value....!!!!!! .... from around Mid Northern NSW... up into Queensland...... not too sure about WA though.....!!!!! ..if you're down south..... you'll have to wait till it gets really cold and wet during the winter months...... ... be very careful ... as there are other species that do also go blue....!!!!!!

I second all of the above....!!!!!!!...... congrats Andy....!!!!

...that's a hell of a lot of Mesc. to kill some one.....!!!!.... wow...!!!

....With the heat treatment eliminating the lingering effects..... Mesc is very heat tolerant..... therefore by boiling the material down... you might be retaining the Mesc..... but breaking down many of the other alkaloids found in the fresh cactus.....!!!!!.... so by consuming fresh... you should have different effects to boiling down to a tea then consuming...... and even more so when going as far as an AB extraction..... where only certain alkaloids will dissolve in the selected solvent.... therefore loosing even more of the total alkaloids found in the cacti.....!!!!! (bring it closer to just pure Mesc....!!!) Therefore it is usually not advised to do AB extractions on Peyote... as you loose the more "magical" effects... due to the loose of the alkaloid "cocktail"...associated with the cacti...... ...and as far as the poisoning...... will this be due to the tyramine content .............?????????

....I wouldn't really call this amazing or anything.......!!! .... But it is the first Loph to Pach Graft I've done.....!!!! ...and it's doing perfectly well...... doubled in size since the graft.... (2 months ago....!!!!) The reason why I did the graft was that the Loph had gone all soft... and seemed to be getting some sort of root rot....!!!! ....which in the end was not the case...... BUT... fortunately I left the rooted "stump" as it was in the soil.... and now have noticed about 5 very small pups emerging from the side of the Loph "stump".......!!!!!!!...... ......!!!!! L. Williamsii Grafted onto Echinopsis pachanoi The stock was approx. 6 month old tip cutting ...the scion was approx. 3 years old at time of grafting...!!!! ...and it is kept outside .. and only gets full/direct afternoon sun atm.... being watered twice a week....!!!!! I hope this makes you happy ACE.....!!!!!.......

... I told you.... my luck sucks.....!!!!... haahaaa..... ...oh well... if you're not in it .... you won't win it......!!!!! CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS.....!!!!!
