    A journey of heart, science and spirit with Passiflora

    The SAB store has plants for $10 each?! . I haven't had much luck germinating Passiflora seeds and i would defo go the plant option if I was to persue growing these vines again

    Meet up: Melbourne

    Well, I did try to organise a camp for the immediate future, but there wasn't a lot if interest shown, so i left the conversation and I can't add you raver buddy . Maybe someone else can add you . There is likely to be a camp later in the year, but I won't be trying to organise it. Lol. Perhaps we can set a date for a plant meet in the next couple of months. I'm flexible on dates so others can make a date, and if there's enough interest then it'll be a goer.

    Pet dogs.

    Buddy , the Jack Russell, is both a devil and an angel. Lol. How is your dog going fancy pants? Oh, and by the way, happy birthday

    Meet up: Melbourne

    It is done . I'll add to the pm list over the next few days .
  6. Aw gawd, I did look at that photo when you first posted it, but I forgot. What did you say was good for elziemers again?! Lol.
  7. Have you seen this tree in flower Alchemical? I'm wondering what colour it is. I paid a lot of money for a pink flowering form only to find it was a white flower . I went back to the nursery and complained and all they offered me was another tree at a cheaper price, so I bought it. A few months later, it flowered, it was white also. Lol. The nursery had closed down and so I couldn't go back and complain again. I've bought some seeds from eBay and recently germinated a climbing version with pink/purple flowers *fingers crossed. Bauhinia are nice looking plants, the leaf shape is neat and the flowers are very orchid like . Thanks for sharing Alchemica . Great info .

    Meet up: Melbourne

    Yeah let's organise this camp. We can generate a group PM for the nitty gritties ( exact location) . I'd rather it not be toooo far away, distance wise . As I'm a mum, Mother's Day isn't a good time for me to be away from home, also Easter weekend isn't great either. But if it's suits everyone else, then so be it, I don't mind, I will make the next camp.

    Meet up: Brisbane

    It's good to see you encouraging meets there like you use to do here as a Melbournite Sharx. We had a meet yesterday, and we used the 'community picnic rug' ( donated by Sharxx many years ago) lol. I hope to see you at a Melbourne meet one day soon mate.

    Meet up: Melbourne

    Well, you and I have seen each other before , just never met. Lol. But yes, after I submitted my last post, I realised I could have added more.... It was great to finally MEET you Yeti The food was awesome today, greatest combined feast ever. Thanks everyone

    Meet up: Melbourne

    ^ The pavilion came in handy with Melbourne and its sun, rain, sun, rain hey?! Lol. Good to see you all again. .

    Meet up: Melbourne

    My take on that is that this Saturday's meet is instead of one in March. We don't usually have meets with only a month in between, but, if there's enough interest, then there could well be another meet organised for March. (I'm out, just say'n) I'd like to organise a camp .... which we keep talking about but never actually do it. Lol. I reckon we should make some plans at this coming meet. See you all on Saturday. A tad rain is forecast, so it might be a sunscreen and an umbrella day. Edit: and yeah, Melbourne Botanical Gardens

    Meet up: Melbourne

    I'm due for an arvo away from my hermit cave, so I'm up for a meet. I have no commitments in the coming weeks so I'm flexible as far as dates go.

    Logged in? But not.

    I just looked at that function again, and it auto set itself back to corroboree after I logged in, so you can still view the forum as you normally would ( I think, lol)

    Logged in? But not.

    I get this on my iPhone. What I do is go to the bottom of the page where it says 'theme' and I change it from corroboree to default , then it changes the display and I can log in. I don't know why it does this. It's all fine in my iPad, same operating system. Edit: this advice is obviously for phones/tablets, so if your on a computer, not sure if my advice will be any good. Lol

    You could have a crack at it yourself Stu, depends how much detail you are thinking of. I have faith in you. . Out of curiosity, is it a comby van?

    ✫*¨*.¸¸.✶★* .*¸Make a wish! ¸.*•.¸..☆

    I'm off topic here, but I'd just like to say it's a little confusing having two Thunders. Since ThunderIdeal has been a member here longer, I see him as the one and only Thunder. Even though ThunderIdeal is often called TI , when I see the name 'Thunder', I automatically think ThunderIdeal. Thunderhorse has been referred to as 'horse man' , but since recently evolving, he has said that doesn't suit him ( not his exact words, but anyway) , so what about Horsette? You know, like 'smurfette'. Lol. Not having a go at anyone for calling Thunderhorse 'Thunder' , just sharing my thoughts. Lol. So I am not being totally off topic, I guess I'll make a wish while I'm here.... "I wish I was rich enough not to have to go to work 5 days a week. I want to stay home and be productive in my garden and home" . Yes it's a selfish wish, I could wish for world peace, but I think it's too late for that

    Donating for SAB costs

    I came on line, looked at the server cost progress bar, had to get my glasses and look again. Wasn't sure I was seeing right. Lol. Awesome effort everyone . Thanks spooge for making that final bit of the bar complete.

    Noooo, geez. I thought he was just a catus nerd/expert who loved nothing more than cactus. I think you have to expect the unexpected these days hey?!

    Donating for SAB costs

    ^ I'll jump on the band wagon and make another small contribution. Thanks from me to everyone who has contributed, and those who have gone to the effort of sales and auctions to add to the server costs. It's been great to see. We are the future of our future. Let's keep SAB alive 7,258 members, sheesh, we'd only need to pay less than .45 cents each. Lol. Lets say 200 active members, that would be $15 each. Not sure what the real numbers are, but if we all contribute something, then that's a help.

    Donating for SAB costs

    Sorry Torsten, doesn't look like we'll reach the server costs target this year . I had thoughts of carving something and auctioning it off as a fund raiser, but I have been extremely time poor lately.
  22. Missing your presence around here already .

      I wish there was an undo button, but that would be selfish of me.

    I hope you knew how many people appreciated you mate.

    RIP andyamine

    Dear dear Christian, I enjoyed the chats we had, sharing our love for dogs. You made me smile, you said nice things to me. What a nice guy. I didn't realise just how down you were, for you never burdened me with your woes. I'm sorry I didn't see. I wish there was something I could have said or done to make it all better. If only I could wake up and this be all a dream, but then, you would still be suffering?! It makes me sad to think you had such pain. Thank you for letting me get to know you Christian. You rest now. I won't forget you. To Christians family.....Take comfort in knowing you raised a lovely, decent human being. I've never heard any one say a bad word about Christian. He really was one of the good ones. I'm truly sorry for your loss. xxx Argh. Such a shock. So sad.

    The Random Thread.

    I'm in the south eastern suburbs and so far not toooo bad. They say there's been several injuries due to people falling off ladders cleaning roof cutters out though. I cleaned my gutters this arvo. I find gutter sludge a nice rich addition to my pot plants hey. I'm still a bit worried we'll get too much rain, my driveway is poorly designed/laid and water almost laps at the front door when rain is torrential . I won't need to water the vegie garden for a few days at least, lol.
