is the "S" line formed between the ribs another tool to help i.d cuzco.

cool just read taht its not just a ornamental plant, its what they make tapioca from

maybe this? theres a few good books ive listed on this thread about maori medicine if your interested in nz plants etc... http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=23871&st=0&p=248724&hl=maori&fromsearch=1entry248724

awesome,thanks blowng!

hi,does anyone know what this plant is called? pic was taken by a friend on a trip to india, i really like its appearance. cheers

BIT crossed a nz yowie with the spineless scop from coro cacti,ive got a couple hundred seedlings of it growing now from the seeds he sent me.

just sometimes when i pick the dryed up black rot blisters off my bridgesii plants they have the scale long stalk things that tunnel into the flesh.

anyone else found a relation between scale and black rot?

i cant figure out how to either,im sure at one stage i could edit my gallerys to replace a pic with another pic,but now i cant even edit the captions

hi centipede,if you want some just pm me your details and ill pm you mine

have 3 lots of 2 x hbwr seedlings to give away to kiwi members you pay the shipping costs though ($7.50 north island $12.50 south island)

thanks santiago that makes alot of sense to me now

IDing your vacumn cleaner in a dream as a cereus not the commonly made mistake of IDing it as a trichocereus. what does it mean?

whoa to big for me too im surprised he sold the tricho strain mother plants as they were such good sellers for them on .i guess he just couldnt find the room to keep them i dont think it will be hard for you to find someone else to give it a home though.

heres another pic of the coro cacti plant...

yeah i did read on one of his auctions when someone else questioned the fact that it was a bridgesii that he had had it i.d by Graham Charles. have you got any pics of the mother plant? (when are going to see what you got from the auction lol) i got a mixture of i.ds when i posted a pic of my cut on here about a year ago,most saying peru with some commenting on the slight bridgesii tendencies.heres a pic of my as it is growing now...

yeah i wonder if thats why coro cacti have i.d their "bridgesii as bridgesii? when it clearly isnt a bridgesii

if you saw this spination on a columnar tricho would you still i.d it as a bridgesii?

cheers thats a good sized list of movies! have any of you aussies seen old nz movies such as -came a hot friday -smash palace -good by pork pie peter jacksons early work -meet the feebles -brain dead -bad taste id have to say my favourite actor of all time is bruno lawrence, he was in a few good aussie films too.

whats some good aussie movies from back in the day? i like the weird ones from the 70's.i watched the one "wake in fright" a while back which was pretty entertaining.

no i dont think it damage the plant,i put sulphur on all my lophs that i have cut pups off for grafting and it doesnt harm the plant.red spider mites are one of the uses advertised on the bag of sulphur that i bought from the garden center so it should work well. all my experience dealing with spider mites is on mj plants,and they can be pretty damn resilient. if your soil is really infested(they live in the soil and come out to eat your plants)normal treatments with neem oil,pyrethrin etc wont do the job.but what does knock them back as a last resort is aeresole fly/insect spray with pryrethin added.sounds weird but its safe on plants and really works.

hi pacha,sulphur powder is good to fight against red spider mites.dust the soil and the plants.

hi teotz,do you have any knowledge of its traditional use in asia before it arrived in the americas? if not,then i think its use in the americas is of more interest ,therefore the argument over its arrival is fairly unimportant?

thanks yeti

hi,i took the pics at a local botanical gardens,im wondering if its just been mislabelled?
