DL, Have little knowledge on bonsai aswell, but saw a short section on the TV a while back. Seems like it is important to get clipping right, to form series of main branches, and continuing to do this. Root pruning is done only every so often. I guess the first stages (if from seed) will be important to keep an eye on them, but after main branches are established, less attention may be required. Is this right any of you bonsai people? hope it's along the right lines

nirvana yeah, tool sometimes

Aus. is a beautiful place. There are a few americans living in oz at the moment i think?, i know there are some at the EA boards. on the note of immagration...with howards head floating in bush's excraments... i doub't you won't be allowed into oz. I know little about the immagration status, but oz an US seem to be "bonded" at the moment on the brighter note...lovely place, lots of friendly faces

they are both the same, both governments, both supporters, both feel and think they have the power. Power that they, feel and want above the persons below them, which is everyone? [ 02. March 2003, 23:29: Message edited by: gerbil ]

sticky traps with stems? looks like sticky traps, mainly sold for whitefly problems

It's actually a good thing gomaos, more species. The thing i found interesting about the difference in plants, are the "hard" and the "lipped" parts where the flower emerges from. Once the harder flower plants set seed, will see if they come up black. Will take a better look at them tomorrow and see if there are many differences

hmm thats interesting, the plant with the single colour flower is the one with tan seeds. ah i forgot to mention, shit. tst, i think it you was you that mentioned the 5 pointed flower? the darker flower, and the "hard" spear, which turn into a flower, The blue flower has been 5 pointed. Was that what you experienced? and what ever happened with that pod you tagged? Gom, your ipomoea violacea was SAB sourced?, if this is your only species, is the variation due to age etc? could the SAB source be ipomoea purpurea? i need to read up a bit more on the species i think [ 02.

evening, germination has been no problem, 24-48 hours no worries...but germination is not the issue on the topic of MG, and gomaos i suppose you'd be the best to answer this. 3 seperate plants, 2 are showing large dark purple/blue flowers and large leaves. 1 showing small light blue/purple/pink flowers and smaller leaves On the darker plants, flowers are forming in two different ways. One started out by spear head looking things, which are quite hard, and are up until the very last moments of flowering. and the other, more along the lines of a top and bottom lip, which the flower emerges from, the flower is very soft and translucent up until the moment of flowering. The lighter coloured flower is producing the tan seed. the other 2 are yet to finish seeding. I am under the impression that all 3 plants are the same species? The seeds that the flowers leave you with, are they tan, or blackish? what type of flowers do these seeds come from? thanks all gerbil [ 01. March 2003, 22:40: Message edited by: gerbil ]

ahoy, would love some check PM's thanks mate

"considering that people have been known to inhale/spray the butane lighter fuel, straight from the can, without serious short term consequences" Going back a few years, a kid from a local school near me died during a lunchtime of butane inhaling, if that's not a consequence i don't know what is.

where abouts did you find that info tort.? could you let us know, so the melb. locations can be known. Seed may be found possibly. thanks man [ 26. February 2003, 23:15: Message edited by: gerbil ]

Caapi, your seed went out today, PM me please. wyyrm, check PM

i found gudang garams too be much too sweet for my liking, and too strong. sounds like a great time you're having rev. take care

have had 100% germination rates, but then again have only tried with 3 seeds. Using a chinese take out container, lid slightly open in one corner. Using CSS. took about 2-3 days, and the weather was getting a bit cold during night times. generally sitting between 15 at night and 25 C day On the subject of humidity. Does anyone know those promotional bin eskies used at bottle shops, the ones in the shape of a drink can? One of those sitting outside, humidity and temperatures are fantastic in there even just on warmish days. Just keep a little water in the tub, or in the section below it. Can think of many uses for this one

There is a defenite numb feeling, that is felt with med-large amount of chillie... it burns to a certain extent...then the mouth feels a "numb burning" feeling, nothing can be felt.

"If legal should its purchace be limited to people 18 and above? " In what form are you meaning? Anything in relation with salvia divinorum, or dried/fresh leaves and extracts? For purely ornamental purposes, personally i can't see a restriction. Growing plants shouldn't be restricted to age groups...use is another issue

hi, Couldn't find much info. in the archives, found this in google "Kura also contains Scopoletin. The reason this is important is because Scopoletin binds to Serotonin, a very important chemical in the human body. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter in the brain that has a crucial role in treatment of disorders, mainly those found in the central nervous system. These include anxiety, depression, Alzheimer’s, obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, sleep disorder, stroke, obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disorders, muscle contraction, pain, migraine, nausea, endocrine regulation, temperature regulation, appetite control and sexual behavior" source: http://www.comfsm.fm/~dleeling/botany/2000...citrifolia.html [ 19.

Read about Morinda citrifolia in one of the age weekend special magazines of some sort. Said to be used for a range of purposes, including medicine. But the part that struck me, was in the article it mentioned natives (in NZ i think) saying it's use as an aphrodesiac. I'll find the article and some more info tomorrow, too tired at the moment. heres just a little bit of info on it http://farrer.riv.csu.edu.au/ASGAP/m-cit.html [ 18.

So has anyone seen this doco by mike moore? had the pleasure of seeing it today, really liked it, gave a really good perspective on the happenings in the US in regards to gun control and just their attitudes really. Haven't seen the awful truth on SBS for ages, hopefully it'll be back soon enough.

"Even though he did destroy Charleton Heston in the interview, its important to take into account that his shaky apperance could also have been attributed alzheimers....which he was diagnosed with a few weeks later." hey bumpy, I was wondering about that, if he had something medically wrong with him. But not totally in that way, i meant that he was just edgy in general, he didn't have answers for anything, but that does explain a bit, thanks

hey all, anyone catch the news last night? First crop of legal hemp was harvested in QLD, and NOW they are finally saying how beneficial the crop can be, took their sweet time. can't seem to find the article online, anyone who has it, would be great if you could post it. ...actually i could be wrong about "the first legal crop" but it was something along those lines [ 08.

"he destroys charlton heston, (head ov thee gun lobby/crap actor) " Now that was a great moment, charlton deserved everything he got, he was pretty edgy during the whole interview aswell. twix, the book is on my list, of many books i will soon have. It's great how he actually takes the piss out of white americans and white folk in general, he does it so well, hard to do describe isn't it. thanks for the heads up [ 11.
