Ahem, LONG time lurker, first time poster. Its summer here (excuse the burnt lophs) and its really nice out in the garden so I thought you might like to have a quick look at the garden too. Any questions fire away, i plan to stick around!
*Disclaimer* all these plants can be used as traditional plant medicine. I grow these for aesthetic and conservation value.





 This ones hella confusing (at least 5 species growing together, i have to trim the more vigorous ones to prevent competetion)
Not an ethno but a fave of mine anyways
 Fragilis
 Distachya
 You tell me
 Last but certainly not least

Hope you enjoyed my sacred space

What took you so long to post?
Looks like you have some Khat flowers on the way.

Haha it is fn funny, its the lurker gif for sure thanks EE, its taken 6-7 years to get there but well worth the wait to have such medicinal plants around. Yep, Salvia divinorum, it hides in a Rhododendron to protect it from frost over winter, still dies back every year though bjt not completely

You seem to be having a lovely climate over there! I'm cold stratifying a couple species of Ephedra seeds at the moment. I see there's still a long way for me to go to ever get some lush and established plants like yours! Likewise with the Khat! How big are those and are you growing them in containers?

I couldnt help myself grafting a long var. Penis plant (E. bridgesii just made sense haha. I only grafted the lophs for seed production and it worked, after 4 years they can get 200+ seeds a season (from 3 or 4 grafts), thats alot better than the 30 or so i started with. The Catha/Khat is in a 40L pot with rich organic potting mix, it gets fed seaweed ferts ocassionally as do all my plants (lophs get a super weak dilution and only in spring/early summer.
The Ephedra are in big 100L tubs (c.2' deep and 5' long) they have cactus mix blended with potting mix, it is Mediterranean-like here and the first pic shows them germinating in gravel (mostly distachya X) theyre becoming a bit naturalised it seems, popping up in cracks in the concrete etc. Theyre also hybridising which is wierd, distachya crossing with equisetina and campylopoda X something too. Im keeping an eye on the hybrids they seem to have some vigour to them. The distachya pic is a 20L pot amd the fragili are in a 40L pots as well. Fragilis can get big so theyre in pots til i find a permanent residence.
Tried to add some soil to the bottom of the 100L tubs, because of the rhizomes it came out as a solid brick and rhizomes for africa. In the tubs theres intermedia, equisetina, distachya and gerardiana all trying to win out over each other.
I was always a fan of moist paper towels in the fridge fpr a few days fpr my cold strat, now its mainly cuttings.
Thanks y'all, good to feel part of a community
