I tore up the lawn and finished putting these in today. Many I've had in pots for years and I'm excited to get to put them in the ground. Somehow, although this was a lawn until just a couple months ago, you can see volunteer squash and a datura growing. I can't figure out where those came from since its just been lawn there for years and those sprouted before I added any additional plants or soil. The only daturas I've seen growing near me are about a mile away.
Other than the T. grandiflorus, there are no duplicates. Most of the ones with no origin listed came from SS. The "lumberjack" came from a guy on these boards. (Thanks! I passed on several that you gave me but I've still got a few!)
I put some in last fall and they are now starting to shoot up a bunch of pups. They are obviously enjoying the new leg room. The sceletium had been nearing death and shortly after planting it became entirely covered in round after round of flowers followed by all new big green leaves.
Now I can start on the other side of the yard and get rid of the other 100 pots!
Hey Solaritea, thats awesome stuff, you look like you've been busy for sure! In regards to the datura, maybe the seeds had been lying dormant under the turf, and by disturbing it you have set them off!
Hope you are well ?

Lovely stuff, reminds me of Arizona.
Glad to see you back, Solaritea. It's nice to have stuff in the ground. I have a lot of cacti in the ground but they haven't done much. Too much sun, too little ferts or some darn thing. At least my caapi, rivea and a few others are doing well.
Nice! You still live near here?
Nice selection Sol. They all look like you've kept great care of them.
Any of those from that last batch of sprouts I sent you........ oh say 6-7 years back?

Glad to see you around too, Avery.
Solaritea, didn't you use to hang out at poppies.org? I think that is where I first saw you quite some time back. That was when they could still be viewed by general public. I haven't been there in a while.
AtGS - none of those are the seedlings. I still have about half a dozen of those but with the general neglect I've given them over the last 5 years or so their only about 6" tall at best. It's really only been in the last year that they've started to look healthy after I forced them into full sunlight with no preparation. Eventually I'm going to tear out the other side of the yard, which is 10x larger, so at that point those will go in the ground too. At this point I think I'm going to put the whole collection in the ground.
Sh - I did spend time around poppies too, but no more. And if you look closely you can see a little poppy that sprung up next to one of the cacti in the back. I don't really have time to mess around with this stuff anymore, but I amassed so may cactus I had to do something with them!
nice!
Hey,
Very nice to see you around again. Your collection is amazing as always! :)
Peace,
