Wanted: nitrogens TPM & TPQC hybrids

[Wanted: nitrogens TPM & TPQC hybrids]

Hey all

I'm on the hunt for any seeds involving nitrogens mutant crosses, TPM x and TPQC x

Passed along the seeds I received way back when as I wasn't in a position to be sowing any seeds.

And just on the offchance, if there are any other crosses involving mutant genetics I would be interested in them too.

[What did you do to your cacti today?]

Whilst procrastinating finishing the cactus rock garden I set to work grafting excess pups to excess stock.

Sulcorebutias, tbms, a variegate pach x scop and some mexican miniatures all got the chop.

Will post pictures in a few weeks of what took and what did not.

Also potted up a variety of clones and some stray tbms.

[What did you do in your sacred garden today?]

Watered & weeded.

Sketched plans for a new cactus garden bed.

Organized cactus collection into three groups: stock plants, greenhouse plants and those destined for a new garden bed.

Quarrantined a couple mealy bug trichos.

Propagated some trichos by cutting.

Cleared out cactus garden bed of weeds.

Potted up seedlings that had gone MIA, found one with varigation.

Spotted a young B. sanguinea flowering

And with a pod ripening

A lot of B. sanguinea around the place but never seen them produce pods ever.

The plant with the pod ripening on it was sourced from far away so must be a from a different clone/seed.

[a day up the mountain]

hey thanks for the IDs and the Plantnet link, will no doubt come in handy

pics were taken in Goobang NP

[ID wanted, aromatic in Wollemi]

found near leptospermum, eucalyptus and acacia sp, Wollemi NP

[a day up the mountain]

took photos of these walking up a wee mountain i camped at whilst travelling round aus

thought they might be of interest to someone

IDs appreciated

[PLANTHELPER : Where Are You ???]

have also been wondering where you are ya old bugger

thanks for helping me with plants since i started

[Jobs]

wow really good timing incog, will message you shortly

[i have a sudden urge to move to FNQ]

hey zen peddler

i have been up in the tropics of far north Queensland for the last couple months.

As this has been the only place i have travelled in Oz i can't compare it to anywhere else.

but I have been wearing a tee shirt and shorts the whole time, there is an amazing amount of wildlife, friendly freaks, invasive turbina & argyreia to harvest seeds from.

oh and i noticed you mentioned an autoimmune disease maybe being a reason to move.. I have psoriasis of the skin & psoriatic arthritis.. to the point that in Aotearoa winters I can barely move in the morning and am a sore grump till the evenings.

since being here mornings have been much easier, no cold to make my joints ache to the point where amputation seems better.

plus the sun is good for the skin, and the warmth makes the sea so much more inviting. just watch out for crocs

work hasn't really been abundant, unless you are into seasonal stuff like bananas?

peace

[Hello FNQ!]

Heya plant heads

been lurking but not posting much of late, work and moving has put a bit of a hold on my gardening.

saving up the last month and a bit to head over to Queensland to see Australia for the first time

heading to the Daintree and going to Bushweek if funds allow.

going to be looking for work and hopefully staying in the area for a few months at least before trying to get to Indonesia next year for the eclipse.

can't wait to see everything for myself as it unfolds but if there is anything anyone really recommends checking out let me know eh

plants animals rocks history people sights anything......

much love SAB!

see you in June Australia

[Carvings of mine]

awesome & inspiring work dude!

makes me wish i had the patience/hands for carving

[Hi! Looking for Calea Zacatechichi and Silene Capensis.]

I'm about to harvest my silene, it's been growing for 3 years now. Wish I grew 10 plants instead of one so I could share it round but I'll be sure to report back on it.

Hey bogget if you are ever out that way there should be an army of S. capensis at my old whare, you are welcome to harvest roots and distribute seed if you fancy.

Think they should be around 3 years as well so should be ready for harvest?

@_Cursive

if nailthesnail or bog can't help you out I will grab some over the next few months if the pods are still viable.

flick me a PM sometime and maybe we can help each other find some of the things on our wish lists..

[Tawaka (Agrocybe parasitica) prints for trade]

Hey all, been doing a bit of bush foraging and have a bit of Tawaka spores to disperse..

Haven't grown this myself in controlled conditions or propagated in the bush yet but it is a good producer and tastes nice.

Unsure of the medicinal properties but have read a bit about it being used to treat poisoning from Tutu (Coriaria sp)

Open to trades of all sorts, if you are a person who can make use of the prints and have nothing to trade paying a dollar or two for postage would work fine.

After any interesting seeds stones minerals art spore prints (for microscopy) yada yada yada

Will have seeds of the following available

Pukatea (Laurelia novae-zelandiae) Endemic analgesic worth investigating. Seed are still a month or two away.

Kawakawa (Macropiper excelsum) Containing elemicin and myristicin..

Oh I am in NZ but will post worldwide if you are aware of the risks/laws involved with your customs and imports.

[Salvia divinorum Leaves Browning and Falling Off]

yeah like obtuse said...

sally doesn't like boggy soil I have found. but decent watering regularly rather than flooding it is the way to go.

She can be a temperamental girl at first but once she acclimatizes and gets happy the growth is quite quick and produces big velvety leaves.

if you are in the Northern Hemisphere it might be the drop in temperature? Leaves/flower heads would go brown and wet with the cold snaps in Winter.

maybe have a look and if it is spreading down the stem some surgery might be in order.

No change of environment to speak of?

good luck I will try respond to any questions you leave in the thread..

[Trout's Notes on San Pedro [Sacred Cacti 3rd edition] IN STOCK NOW.]

Wow, digging the feel of the new site, Trout. Just having a look now.

It really was time for a new look though..

Anyway, keep that knowledge coming, very appreciated I must say.

[Most dangerous plant - Ongaonga]

http://www.teara.govt.nz/files/d-9773-enz.pdf

Link to a PDF on Ongaonga "poisoning"

Thus was a severe response to the well documented but poorly publicised poisonous

tree nettle, which has claimed at least one hu

man and many animal lives in the past. The

National Poison Centre was able to provide g

ood information regarding the components of

the sting which include histamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine and acetylcholine, and other

substances not yet identified

[Obscure tricho hybrid]

Was this perchance from an Asian salesperson? Got a similarly labelled hybrid through NZs main auction site, had a bit of trouble finding out its heritage due to a language barrier between myself and the seller.. He said the cross was based on the flowers of the parent plants.

Would be interested to find out more either way

[facebook name changes]

S

I wonder how long it will take before someone capitalises on the space in the market for a social media platform which doesnt position data collection as the highest priority. Surely there are plenty of people who have left fb but still wish to have an easy system to keep in touch with globally dispersed friends and family without sacrificing any small iota of privacy which may be left available to us.

Seen a couple pop up, seems like as soon as the money is there or the possibility of money is there they sell out your privacy

Any good suggestions of sites with a code of ethics or something they will have to stick to even if it gets popular..

[post your nature pic & be rewarded]

Lovely plants Mutey hope you find good homes/growers for them in yewrup.

How old is the Strombo (?) in the bottom of the pic?

[Wanted: Pereskiopsis Spathulata from within NZ & miscellaneous cactus seed!!!]

deeerrrrp, original reason for posting apart from the welcome:

I should be going out to where my Peres are growing up here in the next week or so, will be taking cuttings for summer for my own propagation but will of course keep the community in mind.

Also, got some 3rd generation N. rustica and 4th gen N. tabacum seeds saved up if they interest you...

[Wanted: Pereskiopsis Spathulata from within NZ & miscellaneous cactus seed!!!]

Hey bro welcome to the forums and the greater Aotearoa ethno community

Shoot me a PM (i will forget) and we can talk about tings, maybe further down the line work out goodie bags or trades.

Think I have some spare Tricho X seeds bit might need to redo the labels..

can source Datura, Leonotis, Pukatea, Macropiper and many others locally as seed or cutting (out of a garden/collection) when the time of year is right.

Also will be taking plenty of spore prints of local medicinals and edibles this year if that is of interest to anyone..

What are the genetics of the seedlings you posted pics of above?

[Rooting SD]

In a land far far away with a humid subtropical climate I have seen this plant root readily in water and potting mix. I observed that there was a need to cut a few nodes and trim all the leaves back, leaving the growing tip. I saw that this resulted in nearly 100% strike in either water or potting mix. My observations made me conclude that it is an exceptionally easy plant to grow under the right climatic conditions..

^^^ this.

100% strike rate in either water or soil with healthy cuttings
