Hi,I'm of the understanding sananga has a relatively short shelf life. Say 6 months, I imagine it might be difficult to know what's fresh, how much to buy, ect when importing. Peace

Check my stepdaughters animations she did last year. She's 16 yo and just gets better everytime I see her work.

Mate so sorry to read about your situation and hopefully wiser heads than mine will chime in with some helpful info. For what its worth imo its about how to maintain quality of life over the lifespan with a degenerative condition. I hope you can grow as a person with this challenge, uncover truths, as well and find 'tools' of many forms to help. Not sure of what the experience is but nerve pain (i imagine) would seem the one to target. Of course opioids like oxycodone act on synapses / neurotransmitters, Kratom also binds to pain receptors so might be a viable alternative imo. I understand it is addicitive, maybe you need to get polysubstance on this so you can manage things long term. Just in case your not aware, most pain management utilizes paracetamol in conjunction with opioids.

My first winter growing trich seedlings saw alot of purples and pinks. My observations were that Lophs particularly like to purple and the younger the seedlings are the more likely as well. As the nights are warming up green has returned to most. Some have started to pup green whilst the wintered section remains purple (rather than reverting back to green as a whole). Would the reason be that the cold has affected the tissue so, that there has been some cell death?

Thanks Gimli, I wouldn't mind another crack at growing acuminata down here. Last year the frost got most but Im moving to the coast so better, less frosty times ahead. Pic is of A.dealbata, acuminata and floribunda.

Have always have used rainwater.

Will get sieving. Thanks Dubya.

Nice. Pm me and I'll get them out.

Hi, in my amature adventures Ive always struggled germinating many native seeds that would be carried on the wind. Even with fresh seed. Ive been surface sowing under warmth/humidity and without. Have tried take away tek. I tried to be mindful of dampening off. Any hot tips appreciated

Silly me ordered what i already had. So best give away some seed. T.bridgesii 'Essendon x T.brid 'Sina 3 packs of approximately 20 seeds Kindness H

Hey Feako, i grew out some nepetifolia and found the young tips to be the most satisfying part to smoke. May be its different with leonora but worth a try. Theyre not unpleasant to smoke and appear have a sedative quality.

Fired up the incubator for spring. Due to hatch next Sat. Im not sure if the male is breeding with all 4 girls, i suspect just 2 as they are the only ones with head feathers missing (he grabs onto when doing the deed). One way to find out! Candleling doesnt seem to work, shells arent opaque enough. When they hatch I'll be able to identify the patterning of the fertilised eggs and get better odds next time.
