Yanked the plant.  My neighbor let me keep the latex and the whole plant though.  So I'm just going to get as much sap as possible out of it (also got some seeds).  Like I said, I could always use a bigger lump of opium.

Great pictures. Love the sleeping koala, and that tiger snake. I remember seeing those on Steve Irwin's  show.

There's not too much wild around these parts. Sometimes through winter Sparrowhawks make a showing, this one is perched on my apple tree after its meal.

That hawk sure made a mess of that pigeon.

Snakes and spiders I don't mind but those centerpeds are what freak me out we have these big blue ones that live under the bark of trees. Absolutely hate them crawling on me.

I've always loved snakes, and my tolerance for spiders has grown a great deal since I started gardening and getting outdoors a lot.
When you're clearing brush, or out wandering around in the woods you're gonna end up with spiders on you at some point.

Yeah, those centipedes are pretty creepy though...but as long as they don't get on me I'm fine.
I find them in my house from time to time, big ones like that...and it doesn't make for a good night's sleep.

Years and years ago, I was an scientific exchange student to Australia. I have a fondness for the "lands down under", which includes Aotearoa (New Zealand).

There were several things that were memorable to me when I was in (OZ).

1.) I didn't realize how big wombats get. We went out at night and rode around on ATV's looking at the Nocturnal wildlife in the Blue Mountains . The wombats I saw were about the size of hog/pig. . I was like, WTF! I thought they were small and cute. The Smell of all the Eucalyptus in the Blue Mts. is something I'll never forget, and is why I grow some Eucalypts in my greenhouse.

2.) OMG All the poisonous creatures. I can remember the Science professor's tag line at the end of the description of a: Snake, Spider, Centipede, Jellyfish, Starfish, fish, etc.. that always ended In, (And if you get bitten/stung you have an hour or less to get to a hospital or you will die). There is a centipede that is on Fitzroy island, that looks like the one that 1234go posted, that is Bright orange, and is VERY toxic. The waters around that Island also host the Irukandji jellyfish.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irukandji_jellyfish

No Swimming or going in the water during Polyp/medusa phase, of their life cycle. The Bird catching spiders creep me out too.

3.) The plants.. OHH So many nice plants. I wish my climate were at times like, Carins. I could grow tropicals and Mangoes in my yard. I love Mangoes and Guavas.

Yeah, there is lots to love about the lands down under especially the plants. Its why I import seed for some of the species there.

Now, If I could only get seed from New Caledonia. I would love to get my hands on New Caledonian Plant seeds. Caledonian sweet potato, Gardenia, and Most highly sought after by me, (Auricaria tree seeds) Especially Auricaria columnaris.

Now as far as critters in my garden.. . . Well we get:Pseudacris regilla, (pacific tree frogs),dragonflies, butterflies. Western fence lizards, red breasted-green humming birds, Blue Jays, etc. Further out in the country where my folks live They get: Bobcats and Cougar, and black bears, foxes. etc.

I'll make sure to grab my camera when I see some critters, and post.

I'm starting to wonder whether my "giganteums" are really mislabeled Tasmanians.  Not that I'm complaining...

Pretty sure they're the same thing? "Giganteum:  is just a gimmick name for opium poppies with good genetics. You still need the right conditions and a bit of luck to get them to get really huge.

Yeah I was thinking I coiukd be the growth conditions that play a part in getting to have massive heads. I've never grown gigantiums though. Yet I've seen variability in the same old strains I use to grow, year after year.

No complaints on my part, unless it's about how the earwigs ate all of the plants that I tried to start, earlier in the season.  Really hoping that the ones growing now are going to bloom before the summer lets out.  But I've got more than three grams of raw opium as it is, so I should be good for a while regardless.  Them being Tasmanian poppies just means that I already have my hands on a good strain.

Harvested all my pereskiopsis mother pots.

I'm gonna graft the shit out of that. Astro, turbs, matucana, lophs etc.

First I'll let the pereskiopsis cuttings dry some days, root them in one single huge rectangle pot, let only one pup on each stalk and graft on it when big enough. I'll do the grafting part during a humid week in full shade late july.

I think I'm experienced enough now to go to the industrial scale :thumbup: Plus I figured out how to grow pereskiopsis. It's simple, never let the soil dry, loads of water everyday and partial shade.

And do you think pereskiopsis grafts, once nicely rooted and growing, can hibernate ? I mean kept dry with very low light and +6/7 °C min temperatures ? Gonna run an experiment next winter trying to hibernate a pereskiopsis mother.

Pereskiopsis will likely lose their leaves at low temps - below 10-12C, I guess. Plus, letting it go fully dry and dormant in winter will make it very stubborn to wake up in spring, the neglected plants I have scattered around only in the last couple of weeks started growing, a full three months after most cacti started showing signs of life. Bottomline, keep them warm(ish) and ticking over winter for best results.

Having issues with poppies getting separated from their tap roots (at the stem) again...

Found one that looked like it was wilting, gave it a bunch of water, touched it and it came right out of the ground.  Didn't even pop off of the root...At least I have fourteen other candidates for planting...

My climate and garden do it all for me. Sowed once with no ground preparation and now will never be able to get rid of them! Neither will me neighours :laugh:
An odd summer so far. The poppies have all finished early.
