Garden Update

I have made several home moves recently so I thought a good start would be to show my current garden.

Here is my prized specimens displayed as best I can on some a reclaimed sawhorse & pallet such is my style.

As you can see I've added some bonsai to my collection. Trees will become one of the obsessions I am yet to fully indulge myself in so far, so I feel these bonsai will keep me satisfied for the moment.

I have had the Spruce for many months now and it is thriving beautifully.

The second bonsai is a New Zealand native Kowhai or Sophora microphaylla. This beautiful guy will produce some lovely yellow flowers sometime soon!

Interestingly Kowhai bark was used as a medicine by the native Maori, being used to treat wounds and burns. It was said to heal seal bites in days! No note to any modern use.

Summer 2011-12

I am way overdue getting some information up on here. Now is a good a time as any to get back onto it. I am happily welcoming summer weather here in N.Z and my plants are too! Everything has awoken from its winter dormancy & has began to grow again. My obsessive interest in ethnobotanicals & psychoactive cacti has re-erupted, I have so many plans, many of which i'll share on here to keep myself informed as well as document their growth.
I feel I have allot to learn from the peyote spirit this year.
