A friend has successfully grafted to Stapelia gigantea before.

Hi fydesvindico, Noob here! Been hanging about for maybe a couple of years and trying to help out where I can, mostly with plant IDs and sending people seeds/plants. Mostly for selfish reasons though since I suffer from OCP (obsessive compulsive propagation) and need more bench space! Come to think about it, anybody want some Mentha australis - Native River Mint? There's been a bunch of posts from longer members that are in a similar vein to yours. I'd be keen to see the forum return to it's hay days but don't really know what that looked like. Any chance you or any other members can describe it? It's difficult as a noob to regularly read about the decline of the forum but whilst lacking a vision of what to strive for. I must say though, in my limited time I've had very positive experiences here. People use my return address to send me mystery plants all the time despite my offerings being gifts, not trades. Everybody has been very kind and forthcoming with information. I'm not sure how it used to be but I'm quite impressed by the conservation concerns expressed here too, particularly regarding natives including Acacia spp. Unfortunately, I think a lot of information is being shared via PM rather than the forum, perhaps due to privacy concerns. Lovely photos. Hope your Trichocereus recover. Please let me know if you'd like some 3 year old named Trich seedlings to help get you back in the game. Cheers, Freako

Self praise is no praise.

Gleditsia triacanthos. The green form is usually a sucker from the golden, thornless variety.

This is what you want to read. Are you aware of sci-hub? https://www.nature.com/articles/nature13291

I've been on this quest for about 10 years. Good luck! Will let you know if I get doubles at any point. Are you aware that it's online now? I like having the physical library too but thought you (or others reading this) may not know about this amazing resource. https://profiles.ala.org.au/opus/foa

May I ask why you'd prefer wild seed? There are loads in council reserves near me but obviously planted.

Torsten - Oh what? Just because you have the most successful and longest running ethnobotanical forum you think you know something about ethnobotanical forums? Can you even elaborate? Buttsack, you seem really confident in your understanding of how forums work but perhaps you missed some basic things: 1)You ask a question and people give their responses 2)There's no obligation that you and participating members reach an agreement 3)The owner of the forum has no obligation to engage you with dialogue at your choosing Why be hostile to those trying to help you with your question? You seem logic-driven yet this does not help you with your goal.

Pterostylis despectans, a threatened species of terrestrial orchid in NSW.

Birds don't in general. In north America it's common to chop up superhot chillies to mix through bird seed so squirels don't eat the mix.

5 years ago, $200 to $250 would be right. I think on the auction group now you could expect closer to $500.

A struggling materialist at heart because my head is where I think. Sally offered me her hand and walked me to the brink. Intense interest bartering with my sanity. Can I let go and still land right where I plan to be? "There is no landing" she explains "there is no floor, There is no falling. Through space you only soar. No left, no right, no up, down, front or back, No matter, time or energy no you or I infact" She was right and gone and so was I or who I thought I was. And everything was gone for good just because... because. Of course I'm back. I never left. It was all inside my head. But then again so is everything I've ever thought or ever said. I'm profoundly unchanged in materialistic ways. The particles will be gone within a mere matter of days. Long after I experienced those feelings; so intense, But forever I have changed in an immeasurable sense.

Yes, they are all Acacia obtusifolia.

The new growth covered with a viscous resin is supposed to be chewed for a stimulant effect. I've never managed to figure out which subspecies is preferred. There is apparently a significant cyanide content in leaves and they are possibly carcinogenic. All I've heard is word of mouth with no scientific backing or word from our first nation people so I've never been game to try.
