Peyote flower

In 1996 I was for business in Texas. And I loved it!!! Being in a relative conservative part of the Americas I was amazed by the number of peyote cacti on the window sills. I was wondering if the owners knew that the peyote contains mescaline (a drug causing hallucinations) and that the peyote is used by shamans; traditional only the shaman may use it to ‘enhance his visionary talents’.

Anyway I collected some seeds and here you see a 26 year old peyote making a flower.

Lockdown South Africa: Day 52. Level 4: Day 17


After 35 days in lockdown we have now some freedom; meaning we may move around within a radius of 5 kilometer for 3 hours daily but we have to stay at home between 20 PM and 5 AM.


One photo daily and all photos in Black & White and in and around Napier, Overberg region, Western Cape, South Africa.
