Lophophora williamsii
Lophophora williamsii (Lem. ex Salm-Dyck) Coult.
[Peyote, mescal cactus]
IUCN Red List Status: Unknown
Habitat(s): Desert
Peyote is a type of spineless cactus which can be found in the deserts
of Mexico and the Southwestern United States. The cactus produces a
number of alkaloids, most notably mescaline, which cause hallucinogenic
effects in humans when ingested. In Mexico it grows in the states of
Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas in the north to San Luis
Potosi and Zacatecas. Lophophora williamsii is a small spineless cactus
with a flattened, globose, blue-green stem divided by five to 13 ribs
that are often tuberculate. The adult cactus measures 4-11 cm in
diameter but only 2-6 cm tall. It features small areoles arranged along
the ribs and bearing soft whitish hairs. The subterranean portion of the
stem, which is as wide as the aerial portion, extends several cm below
the surface of the ground and transitions smoothly into a large taproot,
which may extend over 25 cm below ground level.
Peyote is one of the
oldest psychedelic agents known. Aztecs of Pre-Columbian Mexico who
considered the cactus magical and divine often used it. Peyote use then
spread from Mexico to North America to other Native American groups who
used it to treat illnesses, communicate with spirits, and for highly
religious ceremonies. In 1918, The Native American Church was formed to
preserve their right to use peyote.
The active substance in peyote is
mescaline, one of several naturally occurring hallucinogenic drugs . An
alkaloid, mescaline tastes bitter, causes an initial feeling of nausea,
then produces visions and changes in perception, time sense, and mood.
There are no uncomfortable aftereffects, and the drug is not
physiologically habit-forming. It is important in the Native American
Church , which fused Christian doctrine with peyote-eating tribal
ritual. The use of peyote is said to produce a mental state that allows
celebrants to feel closer to their ancestors and their Creator.

"[...]I was surprised, not only by the enormous profusion of the imagery presented to my gaze, but still more by its variety. Perpetually some totally new kind of effect would appear in the field of vision; sometimes there was swift movement, sometimes dull, somber richness of color, sometimes glitter and sparkle, once a startling rain of gold, which seemed to approach me. Most usually there was a combination of rich, sober color, with jewel-like points of brilliant hue. Every color and tone conceivable to me appeared at some time or another. Sometimes all the different varieties of one color, as of red, with scarlets, crimsons, pinks, would spring up together, or in quick succession. But in spite of this immense profusion, there was always a certain parsimony and æsthetic value in the colors presented. They were usually associated with form, and never appeared in large masses, or if so, the tone was very delicate.[...]"

Hortus Conclusus - Point Supreme
The new "Theater Square is dedicated to the magic of nature: an urban room realized as a ‘secret garden’. The
tall palm trees create a landmark on at the scale of the city, while at
street level the garden becomes a place for the imagination with local
plants and flowers creating open and closed spaces of light and shadow.
The surrounding office buildings are converted into contemporary
housing with new balconies facing the gardent. The streets are
pedestrianised, cleared of obstacles and reoccupied with a series of
playgrounds that service local families and activate the public space.
The three entrances to the garden are highlighted by metallic,
entrance gates that are also planted. Planted at each entrance, Cypress
trees and aromatic plants awaken the senses and announce the entrance."
