Hi Banchoot - there was one salvia clipping from my neighbor's garden. Just a random ornamental. I don't know what species, but not divinorum. Long gone now.

Thanks for checking it out, Affnan, and thanks so much for your assistance. I could not find the larger diameter pipe pieces in PVC here, so used what was available: ABS. And used leftover ABS to make the supports for the growbed and the top for the tank. Also, the PVC 2"-to-1" (50mm-to-25mm) reducers available here are squarish, not funnel-shaped. So had to cut up a plastic kitchen funnel to make your "venturi adapter" inside the bell.
