Skunks Botanical Garden

[SkunK]

Figured I'd bash up a thread here and document my summer Botanical Garden, not sure how far some of these plants will go as some of them were started a little late this year. I'll document all of my plants other than Cacti and Cannabis which I'll share in a separate thread.



Papaver Somniferum --->I grow a fair bit of Poppy's, they are one of my favorite flowers to see! I unfortunately lost a lot of my seed collection over the last 5 years. So I'm working with what I have left and over the winter I'll source some new seed for next season. The seedlings are a little bigger as this Photo was taken a week or so ago, just been poring rain and I haven't been out to take more photos, and these are just a few of my pots growing!

Datura Inoxia - Angel Trumpet

I have quite a few favorite flower and Datura Species are at the top 5 of my all time patio flower, the intoxicantly wonderful evening flowers on the patio, there is no better smell! While I have never tried this plant nor do I plan to i absolutely love growing it




A few Seed pods!

I've got a bunch of Tobacco seeds growing... a few different kinds but these were unfortunately sown a little to late in the season, so they more than likely wont make it through to maturity so some I might finish under lights to get the seeds..

I'll break down the Varities once the rain stops and they get potted up

The toothache plant (Acmella oleracea) --> Electric Daisy, Eyeball Plant, Buzz Bombs




Traditionally, the plant is used for its medicinal benefits. It’s commonly used for toothaches, but it’s also used for other issues like inflammation and gastrointestinal problems. Its an interesting plant and one of my favorite patio flowers.

Datura Stramonium --> Devil's Trumpet and a slue of other names....

Again Datura offers some exceptionally beautiful flowers. I have never heard a calling for Datura plants except to grow them for there stunning flowers! These pictures are pretty mute as its been a pretty rainy & wet couple weeks but we are due for some nice weather and these should start flying pretty quickly. I also have a lot of young seedlings growing so should have a lot of flowers this grow!




Fresh Seed pod foruming:

Grafted Dwarf Lime Tree
---> I honestly don't know how this tree is still alive but its got some memories attached to it!

 

[SkunK]

Salvia Divinorum ---> Hopefully some of these clones in the last photo take, just got them out of the humidity dome for some FAE, will put them back in and work on hardening them off

Monkey Orchid ----> If im not mistaken but I'm fairly new to orchids, got it on a trade with a local lady! Super awesome flowers though..

 

[Trichocereus.Rex]

You took the words outta my mouth. This plant terrified me for years and it turned out to be one of my favorite ornaments of all time. The smell is absolutely narcoticly divine! And very deer resistant which is good for me.
They feel protective to me. I like to plant them at the corners of my property and ask for them to keep weirdos out. Seems to have worked so far. I know I'm not going on anyone's property that has em with out permission.

I have never use this plant but have found it interesting that it has been used in Ayahuasca brews, I do save some of my dried flowers and nice leafs /Seeds and pods and if the calling ever presents its self I have that option. But in over 10 years of growing Datura species Never felt the itch and its not something someone does ona whim or at least I hope not.

Brugmansia is one of my Bucket List plants. I would give my left nut for a plant. I like to think I'm a pretty good horticulturalist, but every attempt at getting seeds to germinate has been fail! I'll keep trying as seeds presents them self to me, or I'll jump on a live plant ferociously if the opportunity arises

Make some changa for science!

I have yet to try making Changa, I'm going to pick up some Mullein tea leaf from the Pharmacy next week, and start collecting some material to have a go at making some. Would definitely be open to experimentation.

I have still yet to try even working with Rue... I was close back in 2019 era; had extracted from Rue seeds thanks to the Nexus but life decided to throw me some hellish curve balls and not sure what happened to my extracted harmelas but I know all my shit was moved out of the house in a night.

I have to date only ever used NN through my EMesh or my home made Machine and those times have only ever been a one way rocket ship, so I am very eager to start experimenting with Rue allie and once I have begun to understand I am eager to start branching out with NN-DMT/Mushrooms

I am also interested in working to getting some Changa Plants to grow in a garden dedicated to that! So next season I'll make room in my Indoor Vegging room to get an early jump on some outdoor plants for this purpose. I have been watching some of the Changa threads taking notes on some of users combos and what has worked for them
