i'll trade p.viridis for s.tortuosum, or good piece of outstanding trich' if anyones interested?

i saw that pile of cuttings in there, they didn't even look like trichocereus let alone worrying about species, but recently i did see a pretty nice foot tall pach there for $80, which i wouldn't like to pay, but in a time and place $80 is dinner a movie and if youre lucky a couple of drinks it's not exactly outrageous either, especially if you factor the time you would spend producing something like that yourself

if it has thorns on the vein under the leaf i have some of these, last year i had effects that were quite pleasant from smoking the flower bud part, which is similar to marijuana in appearance but seed grows in a bean type pod that opens at the sides. i wont be growing this anymore as the caterpillar type thing it attracts consumed a substantial part of my favourite loph graft and had a go at some trich seedlings, but because i see them everyday i've been able to avoid major damage in that area, but yeah the flowers look good and the plant smells really nice, quite a few around Marrickville in front yards.

plant growing well outside, just small enough to post, trade for Trouts Notes on ayahuasca alkaloids, 100+ Lophopora seed, or good interesting trichocereus cutting....

there was an ad for this site in a magazine this week saying 'finally legal in australia' referring to 5htp www.recovere.com don't know if $50 a bottle is good or bad? [This message has been edited by Torsten (edited 30 October 2002).]

i never made that connection, but two heavy potheads i shared 5x with had no effects also?

hi twix, around here there are some (not heaps)of maidenii in parks and some industrial areas as landscaping at this moment they are flowering and can be picked by the paler colour yellow than longifolia or sophrae, and sometimes by the pruned branches, for parks try northern slightly western suburbs, and inner city for industrial, wouldn't really like to be too specific...

yes, they certainly look dead here, but the roots look alive and well, perhaps they'll be back in spring?

ok,i'm understanding you, and am certainly not in any way inclined to argue! best of luck

--hi, sterilised brown rice flour and vermiculite in a jar is technically a breeding ground for bacteria, but no more so than a bowl of brown rice, probably less so seeing as your'e going to such lengths to avoid bacteria getting a foothold..

hi bizz, i tried to email you but it was returned, perhaps you could send an email to me?

email youre address here and you can have some...

so assuming hoping this variety? species? came from good active parents. would this trait carry to the children consistently or would it be a case of finding the gifted ones and cloning them? i don't know how long these things have been around has anybody grown them long enough to know, it would be a shame if in ten years there were thousands of these around that weren't useful,

is it necessary to pay for a phytosanitary cert' for customs not to be a problem? spiraleyes did you buy one when yours got opened on the way the way through?

agreed to above, the listing in sc2 is amongst kk's but conspicuosly absent on no.427, in the catalogue where other peru' varieties have a name tacked onto them this one has a number?

i need to cut back a plant due to it not having anywhere to go, and don't really want to throw it away. does anyone have any tips for successful cuttings ie, soft or woody. hormone powder or no etc thanks

i have a few small salvia divinorum plants to trade for any Trichocereus cutting, or 100x any seed of same (+$5) if trade for seed. email...

i don't think it's a kk number the only instances i've seen it mentioned were sacred cacti 2 where it's said to be "commercially available" possibly refering to seed, just number no prefix, or the JLH catalogue where it's referred to the same way, i'd love to trade in the future the largest at the moment are about an inch or so.

it was really hot here today, and i had cutting healing in the same place as for the past week, this afternoon the most exposed rib and a half are yellowish and quite shrivelled ,(it was flawless this morning)my question is, is this just dehydration that will fix itself when roots form or is it wrecked completely, also should cuttings usually be left in the shade?

thanks, it is burnt from an inch from the cut right up one rib to about 2" from the tip, so i"ll hope for the best

reguardless of how good butane is subjectively {really good} or how toxic it is or isn't 398 people DIED this way between 98 and 2000 in the uk alone, probably from form rather than function but that's beside the point, it is probably irresponsible to advocate something kills so much reguardless of how it does it.....

i think from cactus garage he may often mix them up, i once enquired about peruvianus from him and he said yes, he could obtain rooted cuttings, only to write back a few days later '" I meant T.pachanoi cuttings not peruvianus ,hope i haven't mislead you. reguards peter" he also included a note about them being clumped into Echinopsis together,or something of similar spelling

there is a brand of jam called bonne maman, it comes in the type of jars your'e after it used to be at franklins at marrickville metro, but that's woolworths now and i don't know any more ,maybe another franklins with a foreign food section, or definately any good deli, but you'd better like the jam$$$$

i think it's kids and animals smaller frame of reference that makes them more positive

i have this problem? around grafts i thought it was from poor hygeine when cutting or during healing, doesn't seem to spread too profusely, but yeah rust was my exact thought on what it was, is yours actually on the outer skin
