Dear david, I am not sure if you got my other message but I can assure that they (Growers) do NOT put peyote cactus plants in dish gardens!The peyote cactus has a drug that acts like LSD on the brain. Unless you are a member of the Native American Church it is a felony to grow and possess the plant. I would have to look it up but it may have been as far back as !930 that it was made illegal by the feds. Just type in Peyote cactus in a search engine. You are in for quite a surprise. You must have confused this cactus with something else in your dish garden. As a grower of cactus for resale I can assure you no one in their right mind would plant this in a dish garden for resale. If you find a dish garden with what you are sure is peyote can you please send me a picture. I am a Botanical Taxonomist and would like to know what you are seeing. By the way peyote grown from seed has a fleshy, carrot like taproot, smooth skin, white flowers and a globular head growing off the taproot. It almost never clumps in nature unless the top has been cut off. Then the head can resprout, sometimes with multiple globular heads. It is rare in nature because of over harvesting for drug use-Russ H. In a message dated 4/5/2013 6:40:26 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, idavide@sbcglobal.net writes: A federal crime to grow peyote? Peyote is typically included in those gift cactus plantings sold throughout the southwest. I shouldn't doubt that many members of this group grow it, although I doubt any of us use it as a narcotic.
