It's more about the relationship with growing the plants than the experience itself. I can't have one without the other 
I really love having a wide variety that all get along in the same small atmospheres, its like my own personal world of plants.

wow, how did i managed to miss this thread so far?
nice stuff you got going there... i loved the close up pictures of the datura and the prickly pear 
i'm no expert but those prickly pears grow wild all over the place... i'd say just let it do its thing, their pretty fast as it is  actualy they're fruiting right now over here... although most arn't ready yet

Lotus is a tempermental plant to grow. Did you scrape the seed coat down to the flesh? Then let it set in water and it should sprout w/in a few days, but you need to keep the temps above 74F the whole time and change the water daily. After sprouting, plunge it deep into some clay with water over the top. You can keep it that way in a 1gal. container for a year before moving to a whiskey barrel or pond. They'll need a lot of water soluble ferts during that time too.
I like the close-up of the Datura, and the Yopo shots

i filed into the seeds (2) being careful not to injure the inside, and just plunked em in the soil in the water. before i knew it some white thing was popping through the soil, so i kept an eye on it. well it was just rotten seed crap bubbling up through the abyss, but oh well. its gonna be winter here in a few months anyways, ill just holdback until next year so i can plant some of these blue lilies too.
i was thinking a 5gal 1/2-3/4full of good potting soil, and the rest water. i hear it grows fine like this (talking nymphaea caerulea here)
my yopo is large now, 3 sets of leafs, a 4th just starting to unfold, and a 5th and 6th shooting up into the air
i hear mimosa is bad about the cold, so i wont be afraid to point my heater that way during those months if it looks like its not havin fun.

Where did you get your seeds from? Shaman's Palace sent me some as a freebie but none sprouted. How did you go about that?

Nice looking garden.
You had asked in reference to your prickely pear (Opuntia something)Quote:
i wonder contemplating grafting it onto one of pereskiopsis like u see in the background. anyone have any thoughts on this? how should I go about doing this? can i put it on a 3 inch peresk and once its solid burry the peresk and all as a giant rootstock for the prickly pear to grow lightspeed?
I would be surprised if you got much of an improvement on the opuntia's growth rate on its own roots as this is a type that grows (relatively) very quickly. I don'tknow whether you'd be able to graft the opuntia onto the pereskiopsis in the first place as the vascular bundle of the opuntia (the bit up which food & water flows) is at the edges rather than the center as on the pereskiopsis, so this would make it harder to make a graft. Assuming you could make the graft there wouldn't be any benefit in burying the pereskiopsis as that would hide/kill the pereskiopsis leaves which produce a lot of energy and are a big contributor to the speed of growth of pereskiopsis & grafts onto it.

ive only heard of this, but people have grafted pedros to 2-3 inch peresk and burried them as-is like a rootsock. the peresk are able to hold up in the moisture, and act as a growth stock. the person who i heard this from tried it and it works, so i dont see why it wouldnt for anyone else.
thanks for your comment and info, i definately wont graft it to anything, tho i grafted my little echinopsis!

nepetaefolia and leonuri dont have potency like little marijuana. i used to smoke marihuanilla at the age of 14, when my grandfather showed me its good use. you will like its purple flower.
your pics dont do your maria pastora or basils justice!
closeup pictures? i know you have some good maria leaf
