bℓσωηG Posted May 5, 2010 ants!!!!! they are bigger here! They are some big headed ants! Nice Epilantha micromeris and it's good to see your kk339 made it into the ground ,should power on now aye...mutant i think your ruby visions may turn green when it has time to get food , I think this because some (more than one) cactus from SAB came to me in a hungry state but have now greened up in time for winter ... i guess this may happen in a big nursery using organic means and trying keep up with demand... but maybe it is variegated.....

Micromegas Posted May 6, 2010 Awesome work mutant. Sweet garden. Nice wildflowers. And that's one crazy crooked garden in the first pic of post #25. I'm assuming the photo was taken on an angle? Nice plants either way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mutant Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) Thanks a lot guys! Inco, yeah this is my property. btw that kk339 was definately destined for you, friend. it loks very happy and vibrant!! its travelled along way! seed from Lima, grown in aussie, loved in Greece! how romantical! I thought the seed was from equador, not peru... hmmm anyways, yeah, lima-oz-greece what a trip! It triggers the romantic parts in me for sure... mutant i think your ruby visions may turn green when it has time to get food , I think this because some (more than one) cactus from SAB came to me in a hungry state but have now greened up in time for winter blowng, some indeed came in hungry, but they all greened by now. Also the yellow of the 'hunger' was different, this one seems definitely different yellow, but I am not an expert in cacti variegata as I never had one... Should I fert with NPK 6-0-0 ?? Would there be a danger in doing this if it's variegated? And that's one crazy crooked garden in the first pic of post #25. I'm assuming the photo was taken on an angle? yeah, the photo wasn't shot straight, it is crooked, but not so much as it seems. The columnar cacti show the right vertical line ;) Edited May 6, 2010 by mutant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chiral Posted June 10, 2010 Beautiful pics and plants muty...I wonder though...how do you keep the camera so steady when sooooo drunk... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C_T Posted June 10, 2010 Beautiful pics and plants muty...I wonder though...how do you keep the camera so steady when sooooo drunk... your such a troll... and your vibe sucks. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiral Posted June 10, 2010 That ozzie clone has some strong knuthianus traits....nice plant muty, can't say it's one of the more common named clones, mind you there are so many it's ridiculous almost. Your plants all look very well cared for almost anal like care, something you'd likely see a cactus club member do...it's refreshing to see actually...see too many black plastic pots filled with oxalis and PC pach sometimes. your such a troll... and your vibe sucks. Oh hey C_T hows things buddy, try smokin a cone or two...maybe a hug is in order also...oh and thanks for the negative points in my post...bet that felt good huh.

C_T Posted June 10, 2010 nope felt great, like a weight lifted off my chest! Awesome photo's, unbelievable garden and variety 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mutant Posted June 13, 2010 lol thanks for the kind words actually chiral when I drink I generally loose interest in gardening as you become more disorganised and clumsy and leaning towards social activities like hanging around with friends and chatting cheerfully. I managed to get better photos of the flower of the grafted Gymno it's a G.occultum hybrid [mom] some beautiuful succulent Hamatocactus setispinus v. brevispinus Some chamaocereus hybrid 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
san p Posted June 14, 2010 beautiful plants mutant. since your country is so relaxed on plant imports,next summer ill get a care package of nz trich strains together for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mutant Posted June 15, 2010 That would be awesome, thanks mate! Mind you that it is still best [more risk free] not to indicate the content of a plant package, but yeah, greeks are really 'relaxed' / laid back in general. So the little kk339 incognito sent some 2 years ago was clearly indicating "live cacti trichocereus pachanoi" on it but nobody cared to open it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
