rahli Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Hi folks, I have 20 x P. horizontalis seeds to give away. This plant is harder then P. viridis to grow so I want to give them to the member who has grown the biggest and best P. viridis bush. Post photos of your P. viridis bush (that you have grown) and may the best bush win. Stand beside your beast with your thumbs up and back facing the camera to provide both scale and proof of your hard work. I will choose the winner on Friday the 23rd of January, in one week time. Here is a picture of the berries on the bush. I have 3 of these plants and they have remained small bushes for the last couple of years I have been growning them. They are however a sweet little plant. Oh yeah and Australia only, sorry folks. Edited January 15, 2015 by rahli 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rahli Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Okay seems everyone is a bit shy......... or doesn't want the seeds. I'll get the ball rolling. And I'll chuck in a P. viridis and an Alicia anisopetala rooted cutting (I'll pay postage) to get everyone a little more motivated.

Geez Rahli - with a Psychotria that big I reckon most of the punters (myself included) will be running scared... Nevertheless I will rustle up the missus and a camera and shoot what I got, because I am most interested in some P. horizontalis seeds.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By the way, my entry is not in the running. Just showing off a little as my plants are booming with all the rain at present and I don't want to be the only one to admire their beauty.

CAM00115 - Copy.jpg Hey teamwhy, Those plants look great. But without the grower standing in front with their thumbs up........ i can't quite tell how big they are.

rahli Posted January 21, 2015 All entries (including cubism's smallest plants) will recieve some P. viridis seeds, depending on how many berries i've got or how long you are willing to wait for them. Come on folks, get the pics up. Friday is the deadline! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cubism Posted January 21, 2015 Haha rahli. Far too kind mate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tarenna Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) OK Rahli - I couldn't rustle up anybody to take photos with me in it - instead I enlisted my son's good friend Froggy to hang amongst the foliage and give some sense of scale. You are fortunate to live in the tropics Rahli, the subtropics impose limitations on plant growth that are apparent when comparing our photos....

altenate Posted January 23, 2015 I know its about viridis, (theres 2 in the pic although small), a possum eaten cartha, some cartha seedlings & some native Psychotria . All except the native are seed grown. The native came from someone here;).!! Yep, there all small! I had this possum (till it decided it liked fruit in a box - 2 days ago) that would of been nuts! Seems the native animals know about cacti & eating certain combinations of plants. Any way he has moved onto another place 25km aways! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would sure be a winner but I'm going to have to give the main prize to prioritise as he followed the competition rules to the letter and posted himself in the pic for scale. I do have a few extra seeds to send your way though so best of luck mate. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
