Phalaris arundinicea–Phalaris Grass or Canary Grass 

Phalaris Grass is common in many areas and is even considered a weed in some parts of the United States. While Phalaris arundinicea has been dated to the age of Antiquity, there was no evidence of use as an ethnobotanical until recently.
The Canary Grass seeds are very easy to grow–just plant and water. They will thrive in most climates and do especially well indoors.

Rivea corymobosa, Ololiuqui seed

Rivea corymbosa AKA Ololiuqui is a member of the Convolvulaceae family.

Ololiuqui is closely related to the Morning Glories and is similar in use to Hawaiian Baby Woodrose.

Throughout
historical refereces we see “two cultures in a duel to the death” (the
Spanish and the American Indians) with the tenacity and wiles of the
Indians defending their cherished Ololiuqui. The Indians seem to have
won out. Today, in almost all of the villages of Oaxaca, one finds the
Rivea corymbosa seeds still serving the natives as an ever present help
in time of trouble. As with the sacred mushrooms the use of of
Ololiuqui, so signifigant in the life of pre-hispanic Mexico, hid in
the hinterlands until the present century.

We sell Rivea corymbosa seeds. Ololuiqui seeds.
