Freaky Chicken

Unfortunately I've been called away for work at the last minute so I won't be able to make this one. Sorry guys! Next one for sure!

I have a banner which i'll bring. It has a green plant man on it.

I'm keen! Lets do this! I'll bring food and drinks for a BBQ.

I'm keen but people have to turn up for it to be worth my while as I have to travel from Geraldton.

I was these but found it hard to find the group!

I'll have my green plant man banner to mark our group.

Looking forward to the meet. See you all at 5!

I'll be down for a doof that weekend which goes till Sunday so Monday works better for me.

Monday the 3rd could work for me.

Hi Everyone, I have just been out in western Queensland studying the endangered Acacia species Acacia puece. This is an amazing tree that is restricted to only three sites in Australia (2 in Qld and 1 in NT). It is famous for its extremely hard wood and used to be used at fencing posts as it lasts forever. It is a bit of a mystery as to why it is so rare as it is a very hardy tree living very close to the desert. I have collected some seeds and they are very viable with about a 60-80% germination rate. If anyone would like one of these very rare trees in there collection please pm me and I'll post you some seeds. The trees live for about 150yrs in there natural setting and are slow growing. P.s The trees are producing large numbers of seeds so by removing these seeds from the system it is not a threat to there survival. (which is part of the mystery)

I'll see if I can track down some seeds. These seeds need to be planted straight into the ground where the tree is wanted. They have amazing deep roots to get to the water table quickly(seedlings can have roots 2m long when the plant is very small). Very slow growing in native range but has to deal with very harse conditions.

I wish I could make it but the trip from Geraldton is just a bit far. Have fun peeps!

I should be able to make it down on the 3rd.

What if we have it on the Sat? That way we could run into the night.

We could have the meet at my mates place in Baldivis. It has a big open yard and a sweet sound system! September sounds good! 15th would be the third Sunday.

Looks like the meets have died of for winter but I was thinking we should plan a spring meet. Either next month (September) or October I don't live in Perth anymore but I do enjoy the meets and I would come down for a meet. With a bit of planning we should be able to make it massive! What do people think?

Just a heads up for anyone looking at importing sunflower seeds into Australia. They are a prohibited import and you can get into trouble. That being said if anyone has seeds at the end of the season I would be keen. If any of your plants show disease I would hope that you dispose of them appropriately.

Have to move and have an inherited small collection of assorted cactus. Would much rather pass them on to a good home, so it would be pick-up-only. Anyone interested?

Done!

Yeah I got the job! So this is going to be my last plant meet for a while.

I'll be moving in a few days so I don't mind giving out the address.

I'll put on a BBQ as usual too. Feel free to bring whatever.

Yes!

Plant meet at my place on Sunday. PM me for the address. All welcome! Pic of my backyard!
