drat!

Is this a mimosa hostilis? It had white puffball type flowers before putting these pods out.. approx a year and a half old..

Hello Folks! I have a Lot of this guy growing in the back yard, and would love it if anyone knows exactly what kind of cactus it be! It was one plant, which spawned many cuttings, which have grown very quickly! Each of the new sections are about 1 year old. Plenty to trade/sell if anyone wants any! (effing thing won't upload photos.. Will try again, and again, and again...) Edit! Image upload success!

Not sure if it is suitable, but I know a guy who sells Hydroton for $35/50ltr bag.. Would that suit the same purpose? (expanded clay pebbles)

I have Nicotiana Virginia seed

this may be a daft request... but am looking for Phalaris, esp P. Tuberosa.. Any ideas/seed folks?

can I get a time & place?

I have about 20ft of SP cuttings available, should anyone local fancy a trade.. Also, this may be rumour, but have any freo locals taken a look in the grass down at south beach (the big park across the train tracks) for fungi? A few people have told me that there are actives growing..

Ah, missed it.. same weekend in feb?

when/where is the next meet?

https://www.facebook.com/events/410830688991605/ there's an Aya doco & discussion night on in freo on 5th feb.. Should be some interestig folks there!

Where about are you Nosheiwa? Oh, and Myco, sorry about the delay in replying.. you can have one of the jars.. pm! How HHH gets away with selling them, i dont know.. they're under the counter however..

Apologies! been away from the computer for a while! the amanita is the shamanistic red spotty one ;) I'm figuring out mycology, and thought i would try washing the bag that I purchased at the happy herbal store out, and into some sterile media, and lo! I got clean mycelium.. dumb luck i guess.. however i hear they are 'impossible' to get to fruit, due to a symbiotic relationship with pines.. Still, if anyone wants to do swapsies they're welcome to experiment with some..

I have a spare jar of amanita mycelium, if anyone knows what to do with it!

I'll grab em if no-one else is gonna! ;) PM'd

I grow most of my veges in Aquaponics, and have always had pretty good results sowing directly into the growbeds.. I guess the cycling, washing motion of it draining & filling must help to wash a lot of inhibitors off..

bollocks.

Hmm, thought i'd replied.. guess not.. Hey, for the lotus, try your friendly neighbourhood florist.. Get the dried pods, with seeds inside, and hope they haven't been irrradiated, etc. The seeds need some serious scarification, but germinate pretty easily. That said, my fish ate mine, so I need to try again!

oh.. i posted that i have white sage, sasparilla (violacea hardenbergia?), nz silver fern spores., if anyone fancies a trade.. seems the site update deleted it.. Just starting my collection, so nothin too exciting yet.. ...

3ft San Pedro's at the Melville sunday markets, $5 ea!!

Hi All! I've had a long running interest in ethnobotanicals, and healing/guiding plants, but have only recently settled down into a place where I can freely garden! So, I was wondering.. Who can recommend some of their favourites, and things I should be looking out for? I'm in the perth area, so locally appropriate plants would be great.. My current wishlist would include ephedra, hbwr, iboga (!), and am certainly interested in spore prints, as have just learnt the ways of cultivation, but am always interested on reading up on other things!

Unfortunately, I don't have anything growin myself.. aparrently a whole bag will send you skyward, but the half bag 'under my pillow' had little effect..

I found out today that Happy High Herbs have amanita's for sale... $45/bag (around 1/2oz) for putting under your pillows...

Thanks guys.. As i'm a complete noob.. is there a place on the forum for folks like me to say Hi, or a good place to start?
