welcome <3

Hello all, I am excited to join this forum. I work as an undergraduate in a Maryland plant genetics lab. My expertise is actually mainly with bacteria, yeast and mammalian cells, but I'm lucky to get to do some cool research with plants as a part-time job. I have never been great about botany at-home and decided maybe it's time for a change. I'm interested in collecting a Salvia divinorum cutting or cuttings, and I also love the way that black spruce look so it would be great to cultivate a seedling indoors. I will hopefully have some cool plants to do giveaways with at some point. Nothing transgenic of course.

Send me a message if you want to talk!

Welcome to the forum!

Hi Alice,

Welcome to STS!
I hope you have a good growing seasons and are able to replace some of the plants you lost before. I love Brugmansia and Daturas too. The giant flowers and the amazing scent some give off are lovely. I hope the Acacia grow well for you too!

Hey all, I’m Alice! It’s nice to meet everyone. I read about the forum on Reddit and decided to come say hi!

I’ve been growing plants with interesting biochemistry for about 15 years now. My special interest is poisons, but medicines are extremely cool as well. I live in the Midwest, but the goal is Oregon in a couple years.

Unfortunately, much of my collection didn’t make it through last winter. I’m looking to restart some datura and brugmansia, and Ive recently started some Acacia seeds.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Hey plant friends,

Thank you for this wonderful community. I'm in zone 10B and have been enjoying cultivating and studying various medicinal and edible plants over the past fews years, from hop bines, to rustic tobacco, cacti, edible fungi, sugarcane, and fruits and veggies.

Looking forward to learning and sharing knowledge with you!
