BubblegumNugz: No. It's not cannabis it's an Encephalartos Altensteinii, a succelent native to south africa. Too bad I missed this when I visited Kew Gardens about 5 years ago.

Have They Checked the PH?

Have They Checked the PH?

Leaves look a bit funky.
And what the deal with the stem all rough looking.

I wouldn't smoke that crap......
Well Maybe after a good cure?

They need to lay off the Superthrive.

I love Kew Gardens. Beautiful pics Gypsy, makes me want to get back to the UK!

Have you been to or heard anything of the Eden Project down in Cornwall? I have looked into it a few times and it seems like a wonderful place. Wouldn't one of those domes filled with tropical sativas be just heaven!

Lol, "Day of the Triffids", scared the crap outta me when I was about 8 yrs old. They
haven't remade that have they. I still watch out for tiffids, lol. That and the "Creature
from the Black Lagoon", invading my childhood nightmares. Nice "pot" plant. I hope none
of mine go that long.
