Peyote??

I wonder if the original post might refer to Ariocarpus, rather than
Lophophora. I've seen ariocarpus plants in touristy dish gardens.

Tim , you need to do some research on this cactus because I think you
confused it with something else. Best wishes-Russ H,

Lophophora williamsii is a schedule 1 drug plant. All parts of it growing
or not are Illegal to possess without a DEA license. I can assure you
cactus bowl sellers do not have DEA licenses. I don't know the date of it
becoming scheduled so perhaps it was available in the past. It is clearly on
the list now.

I don't grow any cactus so don't know about this genus and its other spp ,
but California's own law forbids growing ANY species in this genus.

I do not agree with you. Lophophora williamsii is a well known plant.

It is

similar to L. diffusa, but they can be distinguished. When I lived in

L.A.,

I was somewhat of an expert on cactus and grew many. Among my plants

was L.

williamsii, and of course it flowered for me.
