Haha, let the totem pole of grafts upon grafts begin!

Why is that graft so stretched? Is it kept in low light?

Out of interest, I don't think it could be considered "active", although I read somewhere that Trout thought it was worth looking into. Where did you get it?

Those red/black spines give it a similar look to Trichocereus santaensis.

Beautoful flower, I never tire of seeing flowers on Lophs. So delicate and small. I wonder if you will get a fruit in a few weeks? Yes, I've noticed spider love my Trichs too, they are all over them. I'm happy for them to be little guardians though.

Thanks, can never have too many cacti seeds. VVVVV Psilocybe galindoi sporeprint (for microscopy only!), P. somniferum seeds, Desmodium gangeticum seeds VVVVV

Tetragonia expansa? Isn't it Tetragonia tetragonioides? Yeah, it's a good vege. Grows along coastlines. Tastes far better cooked than raw anyway.

<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_biggrin.png Cool pic mate, didn't realise they burst open like that. Are you going sow those seeds?

Nice recipe. Palo santo smells amazing. What's it taste like?

The acuminata comes from Arthur River, the obtecta has no provenance info.

Well said.

Yep, the same 22 basic amino acids are found in all living organisms.

No provenance info. I'll see if I can find out.

More often than not, bears will only eat the head and ovaries if given the choice, leaving the body to rot on the forest floor or riverbed. The head is of the highest calorific value and seeing as it's a race against time for bears to fatten up before the winter, they try only to eat the parts which will help them to do that in the shortest amount of time possible.

Koehres, but they cost an absurd amount.

Sixteen hours a day with two 24 watt cool day compact fluros. I started some of them on a window sill but they began stretching, so I switched them to articial light. I'll be bringing them back to natural light in a few weeks.

Have some interesting mutations I noticed today. Two dichotomous koehresii bubs: A couple of albino or almost albino williamsii var. grandiflora babies. The one of the left (the very white one) I thought was long dead, but it appears it has very slowly been growing and has a tiny bit of wool. On very close inspection, there is an almost indiscernible amount of chlorophyll at the base of its stem, which is what has kept it alive. A very yellow williamsii. Is it variegated? A vareigated diffusa: And not related to being mutantations, but because I was taking photos, my five little alberto-vojtechii seedlings: Sorry about the low quality pics. My camera doesn't have a macro lens, only a macro setting, so there's only so much you can do with it. Should I risk grafting any of them? Or would it be better to leave them?

Recently got a fairly large amount of each of the above species and have excess of both available for trade. Am open to offers, but would love to get some blue perus.

Great pics, that first one is awesome. Nice collection of TBMs and crests too.

Oh wow, they are insanely amazing. Niiiice work man!

Well if you would consider Australians hybrids, I can't argue with that. My biology dicitonary has the definition of a hybrid as: "progeny of a cross between parents of a different genotype" Going by that, every single living organism which has been produced through sexual reproduction would be a hybrid! <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_blink.png Either way, I see them both as wrong and think that the term hybrid should be reserved for crosses between two genetically dissimilar organisms...but that's just my opinion. <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_tongue.png

No, they are not. A hybrid is a cross between two different species, or in the very least two different sub-species. His strains are crosses within the same species. It's like saying someone of Chinese and Nigerian descent is a hybrid. The usage of the term hybrid to describe crosses within a population is incorrect in my opinion. If you choose to call Workman's novel strains hybrids, then so as not to be a hypocrite, you should call virtually every Australian a hybrid.

That's pretty surprising. It's great to see a single head get so large on a graft. They are incredibly beautiful.

Where did you find that information? It's pretty interesting.
