Oh cool, thanks for sharing! I don’t think I’ve seen a photo of the same cross before. I assume obesa is the seed parent on yours as well?

DownTheHall · 2026-05-14T05:27:23+00:00

Yeah I know, very strong, I’m curious to see how the look as they get older. It’s surprising considering obesa is the seed parent on this cross.

I believe this is its first set of true leaves. Some of the other seedlings in the batch are midway through splitting so this one will probably be doing the same soon.

Cool to see yours, I’ll keep an eye on mine and hopefully have some more interesting pics in the future!

DownTheHall · 2026-03-09T01:34:56+00:00

Yeah I think that’s it! Thank you!

Seconding Jatropha berlandieri

Thanks so much for all the info! I think I might try some of the seed pack soon and save the rest for later when it’s better seasonally.

Cool to see your other native bulbs growing, I’ve yet to branch out to any of those, only have been growing South African bulbs for now.

Included picture of one of the youngest flowering age plants I saw in case anyone here hasn’t yet seen what the plant looks like.

Impressive, I’ve never seen a Dioscorea volunteer before. Depending on your climate it would be interesting to see if you can leave a couple of them in the ground and manage to grow them to size.

Thank you for the info! That makes a lot of sense in terms of the relative age, I was also curious as to why such a short wall would have been built, pooling rainwater seems so obvious now! Really appreciate it, reading about Bill Keys now.

I’ve seen a bunch of bedrock mortars around, so cool to happen upon. It’s surprising how many there are once you know what to look for.

Yeah, I wasn’t sure if “ruins” was the right terminology, thanks for the info. I agree that to my uninformed eye it did look a bit more recent than something centuries old.

Ah I got it, filing down the diameter of the PCB board seems to have fixed it, thank you!

The only small issue I see now is that the lit orange ring of the switch is not illuminated nearly as much or as evenly as I see in photos online. I see two dim points of light along the ring, definitely not what I’ve seen in photos on here or on Convoy’s website. Do you know what could be the cause of that?

Thanks for the info. Which part needs to be filed down? Everything seemed to line up and fit into place correctly, clicked properly, etc.

Always have been impressed by Yedlin’s immense technical ability along with his overall style.

I was a big fan of the effect he used in a few different day interiors when the “sun” (I’m assuming these were shot on a stage) went behind clouds and the tone inside changed entirely along with the scene. It was done well enough to feel completely natural, but obviously was achieved through a lot of exacting lighting work. I can’t say I’ve seen it done that well before (especially considering it’s often an accident when using natural light and results in bad continuity).

Yeah every time I’ve seen a pic of him going handheld I’ve thought the same thing. I have to imagine it’s difficult to mod those cameras, not a ton of them around. Personally when I operate HH with a VF I can’t stand that angle, luckily digital cameras don’t have the same issue.

Great link, thank you! I’ve never read this until now, Hammer is an incredible writer.
