Still too cold outside here

the seeds were sold as leonurus but the foliage seems more nepetifolia-ish, help?

Had this mimosa for a few years now moving house its time to harvest.

Do folks think these seeds might be viable? I’ve already confirmed that “Esphand” and “Wild Rue” does, in fact, refer to Peganum harmala.

I’ll probably plant a handful regardless, fuck around and find out. And if not, well they still have a multitude of uses. Just curious if anyone here has any expertise on seed viability that might be able to speak on these.

Thanks in advance!

I am in an country that has wild epehedra but I am finding it hard to find. Any hints on where it would grow best

Last week I did a test run with some white Tasmanian seeds. They are in a well drained mix of perlite, manure, vermiculite, top soil. I spread the seeds on top and lightly misted with a spray bottle. It’s about a week now and I haven’t seen any germination. Any ideas? I live in a 7a zone so it’s been between 50-70 the past month or so.

TIL that greater celandine (invasive weed I have at least 50kg of) contains protopine (an opiod agonist + antihistamine https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Protopine) and aporphine (structurally similar to morphine and with similar effects https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2907279/)

Haven't yet seen in what concentration so could be an absolute waste of time - interesting though

On holiday and interested in any suggestions for native plants to seek out and why? All suggestions welcome

Hypothetically would this be an worthwhile source for DMT extraction?

😁

Moved to bigger pot with ocean forest soil, thanks for the advice yall. Also gave it a new light and made some reflective cardboard walls with tin foil, how often should I water it at this stage and should I bother putting the sand on top for the gnats or will neem oil be okay?
