I recently bought a pack of D.natalensis La Juma seeds from AK Carnivores. (Sorry no pic, but I'll say that each one just looks like a normal natalensis seed and unfortunately I couldn't get close enough to read any "Made In" info.) I assumed that "La Juma" referred to some place in South Africa or maybe Natal but I can't find it. I guess "La Juma" could be something else - the grower, the grower's favorite cat or something even more obscure. I did email AK and they had no further information. I know Google translate thinks it's Romanian and translates it to "The Juma" but that really isn't as enlightning as it might be. In Spanish it seems to mean a "feminine drunk", which is sort of interesting but would be a rather strange name for a plant. I did find that in Swahili "Juma" means "week" which might be closer, given to the plant's African origin but, again, not very informative.
So, Community, does anybody know what "La Juma" refers to?
