After long absence
« on: December 25, 2014, 04:40:45 AM »

Having seen many of these forums come and go, and being away myself for over a decade, I was suprised to stumble across this place.  I was looking for info on Tetrapterys methysica, which I came across in Wade Davis' The Lost Amazon, as I sit at home with influenza.  Having met Wade a couple of times as well as his mentor Richard Evan Schultes many years ago, I now realize how fortunate I was to be among a generation who did know this greatest of all ethnobotanists.

Anyway, I've traveled a lot and grown many many of these plants over the years, having managed to save a few through several moves.  I will have to dig through my seeds, but I imagine some are still viable.  I know the seeds from the Hyoscamus alba I grew a decade ago should still be viable, as I grew them from seeds >20 years old. 

Most of my photos are pre-digital age so will take some time to find (and scan).  Maybe someone will find useful.

Here's a teaser... Turbinicarpus schmiedickianus
