Happy birthday man...

yowie baby... EDIT: after you won the TPM X SS02 Crest I didn't like u very much, but I think I'm feeling the love in ur direction again... nice giveaway...keepin' the wheel turning man

u could always use the "classifieds" section man...

^^^ Why e-mail..? Can't thc just post the list here..?

Ok...so I talked to the guy where the seed came from & it turns out that his supplier comes from Mudgee. Could this be a coincidence, or are these plants in fact "Mudgee Wattles"...it's looking good for my ID ghosty . Thx again guys...*thumbs up

So, when I put down this seed I thought they were obtusifolia's, now I've got no idea. There are no thorns on the plant & the taller one stands about 1.5mtr. The pics were taken on dusk so the leaves have closed up, but they are normally open during the day. I need to know the species so I can plant it, or destroy it if it's an invasive species. Cheers...spacey

Yeah ... throw their names up here man. Wall of shame ... .

^^^thorns...so it can't be this one. ^^^the leaflets are too fine. Thx for the link Sally... Thx to everyone for their input...I'm pretty sure it's Acacia spectabilis: Mudgee wattle. The leaflet size is a dead ringer. I spent about 4hrs searching through a database last night & spectabilis was the only one with the same type of larger leaflets.

It did start to play up again tonight...had to go away for a while & find something else to do .

From the reading I've done on this plant recently, with the link above that d00d posted & the subsequent follow-up googling. What I can gather is, this is an under canopy rainforest tree. I have a place picked out that fills this criteria & 1 of the plants will be going in the ground, in this spot at the start of spring. I do believe that this plant could survive full sun, but it would need to have sufficient water supply for it to survive an aussie summer. The leaves are typical big juicy rainforest type leaves. Nice pic d00d...looking

Could it be this: http://www.anbg.gov.au/cgi-bin/apiiGenus?genus=Acacia&species=spectabilis Acacia spectabilis: Mudgee wattle

I have hostilis growing near them & they're not the same to look at. There's no thorns on this plant...this plant seems to have pinate leaf development only, like hostilis but larger leaflets. The seed looked like an acacia seed, not a mimosa. Does that help at all..? Also PH, slightly off topic but...if mimosa trees seed at 7yrs, would that have been when the tree would have been harvested..? EDIT: You got me thinking, so I went yo check on the 2 species. The mimosa leaf closes back in towards the main trunk at night...folding down nice & neatly. Whereas this plant doesn't, only the leaflets close up....Hmmm

I blamed my computer as well...lol EDIT: all seems to be back to normal now though.

Very deadly ... & it looks like u have a lot of friends all of a sudden, mate EDIT: that is one very nice cut...mate, pal, buddy

I did read something on this just recently, where there was a comparative distribution map & I think it's more to do with the locality of the 2 different species. If I remember right the sananho is found in the more northerly areas of south america, compared to the undulata being still northern, but a tad more south...can't remember where, sorry. After googling pictures of both plants leaves, the undulata pictures look more accurate when compared to the actual plant...IMO. White (sananho) or red stem into white (undulata) flowers, we may have to wait to be absolutely certain. Heres the 2 pics: undulata http://biogeodb.stri.si.edu/bocas_database/search/species/1873 sananho...about 1/2 way down the page. http://www.toptropicals.com/cgi-bin/garden_catalog/cat.cgi?search_op=and&keyword_op=and〈=e&number=10&user=tt&sale=1&first=3191 The more I look at the 2 types of leaf, the more I'm convinced we are looking at undulata...

Go the pslyo ! ...

Still a bit too young at this point...1 of the plants I kept, has also started to bifurcate at the crown...at 43cm tall.

Have a great day man....happy birthday.
