pachycereus pringeli


astrophytum asterias

ariocarpus fissuartus

well i will post the rest tomorrow as my girl said she would give me a back rub if i get off the computer. sorry guys, maybe later tonight.

well her hands got tired so here i am again. let see i did some of my cacti(i will keep some for later to keep you guessing). lets start with some poppys now.
these are the different flower that my hen&chicks have along with some general hen&chick photos.








now some persian whites



persian blues

odd laced persian blues

red peony's

some danish flag (not mine from botanical gardens but i took some seeds)

[beardedlady]

Those poppy's are sexy. I need to get me an outdoor grow of those going...

alright now for some exotic plants...............
passion flower

morning glories(heavenly blue)

phalaris arunduncia(sp error)

salvia divinorum

desmanthus leptolobus

supposed to be lagochillus inebrians. however i think iamshaman made a mistake. the seeds looked right however.

more desmanthus leptolobus

kratom

ok i will give you guys one more cacti. astrophytum myriostigma






mind you some of these photos are from the begining of this season. as i start threads or respond to threads you will see more recent photos. as for the other cacti i will post some new pics furthur down the road and also when i get my perskopsis.

by the way im always up for trades. just pm me with what you have and what you need. im looking to get my spore collection back up as well. i will be getting back into it again as i have taken a few years off (i hate cleaning up after the messes i make).

[beardedlady]

Is the Phalaris easy to cultivate?

easy as growing wheat grass. sprinkle some seeds on some soil, make sure it doesnt dry out as they tend to drink alot and mother nature will do the rest.

[beardedlady]

How does it winter? I'd be interested in maybe some Phalaris, I only have syringes for trade though =/

[llamabox]

Hey Durban, welcome to the topia...

Glad to see you are making it out into the neighborhood of forums.

To those who can't see the pics, Durban is a very good grower, and has some excelent plants.

Durban...Pm sent

well it doesnt winter, i will collect the seeds as it completes its life cycle and then harvest. well im not looking for syringes but if you make some prints i have phalaris seeds to trade. no need to be sterile but dont be to messy with the prints because i go agar to agar transfers anyway. pm me let me know what you have to trade. im always looking for oddball cacti (trichocereus, coryphantha, astrophytums, pachycereus pecten aboriginium or some liveplants like p.viridis,vocanaga africana, syrian rue, different salvia strains etc)

thank you llamabox

You have a very beautiful gardern Durban, thanks for sharing.
Also, welcome to Mycotopia. Pull up a chair and stay a while.
The dooby's coming your way.

[mycobri]

wow. impressive garden. how did you get your ariocarpus fissuratus so green? any care details (sun, watering, soil, ect.)?
very interested in conditions of cultivating kratom as well.
nice job!

well they like shaded areas. i keep mine at the base of a small tree so it get a little light mostly shade. they love it. i never water because it rains enough around here. i havent fed it at all yet as the need almost no food. when i first got it it produced seed pods. i harvested about 500-600 seeds off of this one. now i have hundreds of babies plus some good trades. anyone have any idea how old this cactus is? i was guessing it was born around the same time i was roughly 30 years ago. this cactus was collected from the wild. it was saved from a development sight where it would have been just destroyed. then it fell into my loving hands. if going to graft a bunch of babies and maybe in 2 years i may get to bioassy it.

by the way keep a eye on this thread because i will be posting some more garden pics. maybe if i feel ballsy enough some crazy garden pics we will see.

well this arent the crazy ones i was talking about. these are for all you fiends out there.

sorry i have to figure out why my camera is focusing background and not up close.

[spacecake]

Nice collection indeed !!!

[Cybin]

great pics!

to help with the focus...look for a macro setting on your cam...its usualy a little flower.

[jay be killin em]

[PeopleCanFly]

thumbs up for a good grower

i too have a rescued Ariocarpus from a consruction zone. this one is twenty years old. i think mine has less tubercules? (4 rows) so maybe yours is 30? (i count 5 rows on yours). mine had a flower once so if i get it to better health than maybe i will get seed pods someday.
anyway mine looks sickly compared to yours. it is much lighter green. maybe i am giving it too much light. Pics i have seen in the wild are always in a shaded area. Also this should be a very strong narcodic if you bioessay, but i want mine to flourish like yours.
Thanks for the response and beautiful collection!

i see a black spot were your flower is. mine had about 6 of those keep a eye on it. occasionally poking it to see if a hard round object appears underneath it. thats were your seeds will be. if it on had one flower im not sure if they can self pollinate. but keep a eye under that shrivled flower. i wonder if my seeds are a hybrid or if it was pollinated by itself or maybe another ariocarpus. i guess only time will tell.

[mycobri]

thanks man. this is a mysterious cactii.
