Commenting mostly just to spy on others collections, but for me Lagochilus inebrians, Duboisia hopwoodii and Guarana paulina were all really hard to source.
Not just hours, but weeks-months of my life along with too much $ to even thing about wastedinvested in those 3.
Wasn't computer literate when my search began(still aren't really) so that made things a lot harder.

Wolffia was hard to source too, but I get really focused, crazy intent on something, then move on to the next thing that I just MUST get.

I'm kinda hooked on Solanum at the moment, so was glad to add these less common guys to the collection recently>>>
Solanum Aviculare, Solanum Capsiciforme, Solanum Central, Solanum Coactiliferum, Solanum Ellipticum, Solanum Lasiophyllum, Solanum Muricatum, Solanum opacum, Solanum Orbiculatum, Solanum Phlomoides, Solanum pimpinellifolium, Solanum pseudocapsicum, Solanum Simile, Solanum sisymbriifolium, Solanum Sturtianum, Solanum Symonii, Solanum uporo.

Still seeking these guys though and any other cool Solanum sp.>>>
Solanum Chippendalei, Solanum Cleistogamum, Solanum Coactiliferum, Solanum Diversiflorum, Solanum Ellipticum, Solanum Esuriale, Solanum Gilesii.

In my personal opinion I collect entheos for their cultural significance. I feel they are amongst the most important misunderstood species on earth. I'll continue to cultivate them for those whom discovered the magic and desire to grow them too.

However now that I grow most of the entheo species my newest grails are edible species. In today's ever crazier world I feel you are INSANE for a lack of a better way to say it if your not attempting to grow your own food plants. Even if its so small a scale you only pick some basil here and there to spice the food you've bought. I go many steps further than that trying to grow the greater majority of what I eat. Again though I'm only practicing for now as someday its my belief I'll have to grow my own shit to survive. Would hate to attempt to do so for my families survival when its crunch time and you've never grown anything before. How successful you think that's gonna turn out? The correct answer is not very! I'd say get on it peeps or suffer the consequences in the not so distant future. Don't feel weird about it either being the only person doing it in your proximity. Know all those considering your weird will most likely know nothing about anything and will die vastly sooner come TEOTWAWKI happens...

I have been trying to source authentic turnera diffusa for a couple of years now. As far so know, shaman Australis is the only commercial nursery that sells it, and of course they don't ship plants overseas. Since it very rarely sets seed, any seed you get online is going to be turnera ulmifolia. I have recently found a nursery owner in far south Texas who has offered it before. He has agreed to collect a plant from wild populations there and propagate it. Also, USDA has a specific strain that they offer for scientific research. If the nursery guy doesn't pan out, I may have to come up with a research plan.

Also have had a hard time getting my hands on some of the named trichocereus clones from OZ. Patience!!

Since clones from OZ was mentioned, I have to mention my desired clones I'm trying to obtain from that wonderful continent.

Psychotria Viridis- UDV (Herbalistics)
Psychotria Viridis - Luna (SAB)

Neither vendor will ship these to me.  At least I know where to get them, just need to find a way.

Done

Not sure where, but I have family in the Rio Grande valley I could send on a mission, if the nursery is in the Brownsville- McAllen area.

LOL, I feel ya on this one Psylocke. I just recently tried again and it's just not going to happen.

Anyway, my holy grail is Acacia phlebophylla.

What Aussie clones are you guys looking for?

nobody

Eileen has been at the top of my list for a long time. But also interested in Bruce, yowie, rosei, fields, and huarazensis (US clone).

[kykeion]

Eileen is around.  I'm sure if I have her others must. I'd consider offering cuts if she were larger than 6in.

These are currently at the top of my list:

I had such a nice LARGE midcut of eileen a few years ago...thing had to be 5 or 6 inches around....got it off a cat at the nook for like 40 bucks....pupped like a fucking champ...had it in my backyard in a 10 gallon....then someone stole it of course...but not before someone broke it...

Was this a pre internet search? Not being rude, just curious as I haven't heard of this until now but found seeds easily on Google, the Himalayan flowers I keep learning about sure seem of interest.
