Hey - I'm new here...I was looking for lighting info for growing my ORCHIDS and I came to this awesome site. The ghost orchid is real (latin name: [SIZE=-1]Polyrrhiza lindenii)[/SIZE] - it is pretty hard to grow though...but you guys with the indoor grow rooms are like total pros in climate control, so I bet if you wanted to grow these puppies you'd have no problem! lol. I've seriously learned so much from the grow room forums, and now I'm all inspired to start my own little grow op behind my orchid plants! hahaa

Anyway, yeah, keep up the awesome grow journals...

For an exotic flower, orchids totally top the charts (but maybe I'm biased). Check out: Bucket orchid...this - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia orchid has this oil inside this bucket which attracts male bees because the bees want to use the oil to attract females...but when the bee goes into the bucket, it slips in, and the only way it can get back out is to climb up this little trail of nubs on the inside of the bucket. The path of nubs leads to this small opening, and when the flower senses the bee trying to escape, the opening closes around it and traps it, while the pollen goes onto the bee and sticks onto it. Then the opening releases the bee which flies away and pollinates another flower.....crazy huh.

the passion flower....most beautiful flower ive seen here in the states - other than cannabis of course! :} its an ornamental vine...it also bears fruit. anything that you eat that is passion fruit flavored....this is the flower ;) if you have these growing in your backyard, dont be so quick to eat the fruit...some passion flower species also contain small amounts of cyanide poisoning.
p.s, sorry for the large pics! too stoned to figure out how to make them smaller right now :) thats how you know its definately an indica high...hah!

passion flowers canbe funny concerning germination. I have had fresh seed germinate in a week, I've also had seed take 6 months to germinate. Your planting set-up sounds good, you might want to scratch the seed with a nail-file (just enough to encourage water to more easily absorb into the seed) and soak the seed overnight after scratching. As far as getting flowering before frost, it will depend upon a number of factors. The most important of which being what kind of passion flower the seeds are for. I have had incarnata bloom in a single season. I also have an edulis (the kind whose fruit one gets at the grocery store) which is 4 years old and it hasn't bloomed yet. If you want to guarantee blooms before frost, try to get a cutting started from a blooming plant.

look for a garden in your area, drive around, look on fences, trellises, local garden shops should also be able to help you out. they are everywhere now that ive discovered them, but before, i just never seemed to notice them. pity.

also, some species are mildly euphoric as a tea or smoke. its reported that the smoke isnt that great, but the tea isnt bad, especially when the flowers are brewed. but it msut be the type that does not contain cyanide poisoning, for obvious reasons ;)

I have heard multiple people say that you Angels Trumpet is a hollucinagetic flower. But please do not try it, I have heard of severlly bad trips, even off little tiny peices of it, and it can be fatal. Im not totally sure if this information is true, but I will look it up.

Well I guess the girl who told me about it wasnt kidding.

[FONT=ARIAL, GENEVA]Notes[/FONT]
Angel's trumpet contains toxic alkaloids that have caused poisoning and death in humans and animals. Jimsonweed (Datura stramonium) is mentioned most often and is also known as 'loco weed' because of it's effect on cattle. This plant is grown because of its spectacular tubular flowers, up to 6", and may also be known as 'thorn apple' because of its spiny fruit. General symptoms of poisoning are agitation, choreiform (spasmodic) movement, coma, drowsiness, hallucination, elevated temperature.

Its really dangerous, though so if you are thinking about trying just a tiny peice, please dont. Just wanted to warn the kid who said he was growing it, dont want to see anyone get hurt <3

Growers <3
