This will be a thread where I'll share everything else Botanical related other than Cacti & Succulents/Cannabis and Mycology.

I'll start this post off with a plant that has been super hard to aquire, and every time I've managed to aquire it I've found a way to lose it fom my collection.

This time around I'm fairly confident shes secured in my collection for good. This past year while a majority of my cacti were tucked in for a long winters hibernation I devoted months of reaearch and experimentation growing this plant. Especially focused on cloning and propagation which can be seen in the below pictures.

Salvia Divinorum - 'Diviner's Sage'
(This is my original mother plant I acquired from a close friend and fellow ethnobotanical enthusiast. This one plant has been grown for the last 7 months indoors under HID lighting and had produced close to 20 new plants. I now have 5 healthy plants in different locations throughout the house that produce multiple cuttings and opportunities to harvest leaf from)








Clone factory:
Between harvesting leaf I devoted alot of effort into cloning. I'll never be trying to save my last sally plant on the verge of death again.

Mimosa tenuiflorayn - Mimosa Hostilis
Have a couple of these growing around the house. Definitely one of my favorite Substances for some solo soul searching; and one of my favorite plants I have growing.

Psychotria (Viridis, Alba, Nexus, and Carthagenensis)
Have many many of these growing, thwse grow best in filtered light, with high humidity. Been propagating these like a busy bee the last couple years and have been selectively harvesting leafs from all 4 varieties. Should have enough material to pull some extractions for educational purposes this coming winter.

I'm absolutely in love with my Alba Flowers, shes been flowering steadily for the last 6 months pumping out seeds.

Psychotria Alba








Psychotria Nexus
After researching alot about these plants ive begin mass propagation of the Nexus variety. Getting lots if useable material for future experimentation.




I'll have to snag some more photos of my other plants none are available on my phone at the moment.

Nice!
Salvia is, I swear, the worlds weirdest plant. It grows like mad and breaks off at the slightest touch and the cuttings seem to form roots right before your eyes.
When I had a couple of plants going I had bags and bags of dried leaf just from what would drop and people asked me to stop giving them cuttings because they were taking over their houses.
It’s the sourdough starter of plants.
I just wish the salvinorin experience was a little more approachable. Like mescaline or DMT, haha!
If it produced an opiate like experience, it would surely take over the world.

Ya she definitely is a different kind of spirit... I find 2 distinct versions. Enhanced smoked leaf & Oral Chewed Leaf. The latter being much gentiler of an experience that last longer than smoked. Smokes enhanced leaf shoots you off to some strange places. I'm a huge believer and practicer of Set and Setting as well which helps greatly.

I've been interested in extracting Salvatorin A from leaf. Been saving up a bunch of trim, and fallen leafs for this purpose. I have more than enough to begin extraction and hopefully will get around to while the world is in lock down with this pandemic and I have some freetime to invest in the process.

Sally is a wonderful plant to grow. Once you get the hang of growing her she's fairly easy to grow. Cuttings root pretty easily. Under a week and they are ready to begin hardening off. Very hardy plant; I even have sucess growing this outdoors during spring and summer in zone 3b if placed in the right micro climate.

Me and this plant have some history.. she's tought me many lessons over the years. Set & Setting & Respect are two of those lessons. I've grown quite a connection to this plant spirt.

It's one of those experiences most people will do but once.

Hawaiian Baby Wood Rose

With the spring type weather we have been having, my Hawaiian Baby Wood Rose has started pushing out lots of new growth. Have had this one growing for about 2 years. Hoping this is the year I'm finally given some blooms. Who knows though, time will tell.

Papaver Somniferum 'Persian White'

Working on putting together and early spring patio garden. Have some lights shining on my pepper garden so figured I'd maximize the usage and start a few other plants alongside.

This 1st lot of poppies are Persian White's. Have a few others under works.
