A present from my friend...

[apothecary]

Went and visited a friend I haven't seen in a long while (organising a party for tomorrow night), noticed huge cactus in his yard for the first time, he said I could take as many branches as I wanted...

I didn't really want to take lots, so I got these two, off the same branch... the long one is 40cm , the short one is 15 or something like that.

Am I correct in guessing these are T. Pachanoi?

Regardless of whether they are or not, I will plant the small one, but if they are T. Pachanoi for sure then 30cm of the big one won't be planted.

they look more like cereus peruvians not t. pachanoi

Yeah you definately haven't stumbled across a handy source of pachanoi, I'd say it's probably some kind of Cereus.

It's a nice looking one though, I've never seen any with such short spines.

[smogs]

definately a cerus peruvians, i always see them with short spines

theres are a very common cacti... if you see a front yard with a huge cactus chances are thats what it is

especially in greek areas

not active but makes a good specimen... pachanoi have much meatier ribs

Ah well, they're quite beautiful I don't mind keeping them around I think

I just got back from the Shihad gig. They were fucking great.

My gnome says he is quite anxious to try mescaline (I tell him it's illegal and he shouldn't be saying such things) but at the same time he has found something more in cacti than just an interesting alkaloid.

I hope everyone has a good night and a good weekend, my friend Mary has given me another revelation tonight, and I require sleep or at least darkness to contemplate it.
