The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." ― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

This thread is awesome, I love cacti flowers "we are not human being's having spiritual experiences, we are spiritual being's having human experience's." (Teilhard de Chardin (1975?)

Very nice pics Hostilis!
I have 3 scops about to flower.. no saved pollen from other past flowers so hope to pollinate them with each other and get true to form scop seeds! they might all be from the same mother plant so i'm not sure if they will produce viable seeds or not. anyone know>?

If the plants are from the same clone then they wont produce seeds from what I hear.  Good luck though! 3... 2... 1... BLAST OFF!!!!FFO TSALB ...1 ...2 ...3 My grafting guide

Flower #2 opened today on my first seed grown peyote to flower. Pretty sweet. There are also some echinocereus, neoporteria, mammillaria, and ortegocactus flowers on the way. They are all just still forming buds though. Will update with photos when they come. hostilis attached the following image(s): P6120236.JPG (595kb) downloaded 253 time(s).3... 2... 1...

Beautiful flower, Hostilis! And I love the ribs on that specimen. I once had one that was almost identical in appearance, but unfortunately I was not very experienced yet and it decomposed after it was degrafted.

Some beautiful stuff here, guys and girls. I'm planning on planting my own when I move in a couple of months. I love the idea of a trip 6 years in the making, but I'm also thinking I might not be able to cut it down when the moment comes. I guess plant many, ingest few. Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

This turned out to be an awesome thread. And hostilis dude your out of control. In the best possible way! You have never been apart from me. You can never depart and never return, for we are continuous, indistinguishable. We are eternal forever

That bridgesii flower takes the cake. I heard bridgesii flower less frequently than San Pedro outside of their natural habitat. Do you find that to be true You have never been apart from me. You can never depart and never return, for we are continuous, indistinguishable. We are eternal forever

No idea brother. None of my Pachanoi have flowered for the last two years, but flowered before then regularly. *shrug*. Only a few find the way, some don't recognize it when they do - some... don't ever want to.- Cheshire Cat
Every adventure requires a first step. Trite, but true, even here.

That is generally true - but some cacti are self-fertile - they can pollinate their own ovules. Clones can pollinate other clones. Happily, all species of the genus Lophophora are self-fertile. Life is a shit sandwich - the more bread you got, the less shit you eat.
