Irie Folks, Great info, answered all my questions. Many thanks, Respect Z

Irie Cristop, Thanks for the ID I suspect that it was probably a gift from the Ozzie Government to our island....about 20 yrs ago? Is it an active species? I liked the photo with the old boys and the cockerel. Respect Z

Irie, PM'd Got loads to trade. Respect Z

Irie, So the man comes through!! Not a scammer. Just thought I'd let you all know. Respect Z

Irie, If you can send internationally.....I'm in!!! Respect Z

Irie, I have loads of these growing all around the house..Local name "Grian en bas Feuille" meaning Seeds Under the Leaf....a weed round here that we often use for fevers & for kidney complaints. There is the green and red type....Red being the female, which is favored for medicinal purposes. I'll take some photos later. Respect

Irie Andrew, I must agree that looks alot like it....I think you've nailed it... Respect

Irie, Just finished brewing a neem tea....gonna try it on a spidermite & scale issues I got.. As for ants...Cornmeal seems to work well... Respect

Looks like Custard Apple...annona reticulata.... Respect Z

Irie Teo, Interestingly enough the cactus cutting that you sent me (Thanks) also suffered sun burn whilst in NC.... Make me wonder about the strength of the sun on the east coast?? So what would cause that? Chemtrails??? Respect Z

.

Irie some cactus....I have no idea??Can't tell one from another.... Please let me know. Respect Z

Irie, Thanks for that....I sure I can train my eye...eventually! Here's some closer shots. Native plants. Respect Z

Watched this a few months back..Cancer cure...Very interesting cure for cancer... Hope this may help some. Respect Z

Irie, My Caapi seedlings.....4-6weeksish Respect Z

Irie Sharxx, No mate, I'm in the Caribbean. But I am a professional artist (Yeah I know a flippin rarity) This table was a commission, made from solid mahogany and some teak for the pivot tilt-top. All hand made. Hand painted. Respect Z

Irie Just caught this post before it expires............ Check-out a table I recently made..........Art is my game! Respect Z

Irie, Sorry a little off topic I was wondering something about acacia....... Many years ago I found a amerindian stone mortar & pestle on a small peninsular, under a grove of Acacia (Nilotica....I think?) At the time I was unaware of any cultural use, but the site was without doubt a ceremonial site. I found many other artifacts at the same location.....axe heads, zooamorphic figurines, and pottery shards.... I think it was actually a launching site for tribal wars....and they may have used the trees to get themselves all wound-up, ready for a fight or long journey. Considering I can not find any anadenanthera on this island I wonder if they weren't at the acacia. They were definitely grinding something into a powder. Here's a photo of the mortar & pestle, note the japs eye, making it a phallus as well, not sure what they would do with that???Lol..heehee Respect Z

Thanks for the heads up....I'll check them out.... Respect Z

Yeah Man, I have checked all local botanical books, some dating back 1934 original. Most of the larger plantations and botanical gardens, hotels ......I work with wood so always watching trees. Seen many Albizia julibrissin but not any other mimosa trees... Trying to get hold of some peregrina seeds.... the place I ordered that was screwed up and sent A.C...... So I'm looking for any one who has genuine peregrina seeds......swap /sale......whatever! Only need maybe 10 or so.... Nuff Respect Dawg! Life's a beach! Z

Irie Woof, I've looked all over my island and not found any anadenanthera of any type...., I'm in between St.Vincent & Martinque. Where would you expect them to grow? Coastal-Rain Forrest????Any ideas? Respect Z

Irie, The plant has grown up where I have previously seen nepetifolia growing wild/yard. None grew this year? When this plant grew I thought it was the same....I have a number of them around the house. The buds are soft to touch & has a herbie aroma. Buds seem to be slightly elongated with growth.. Here's a couple more photos; Respect Z

Still not sure about it???/ It has terminal flowers??? Square stem? Here's some more photos. Thanks for the help... Respect
