Thanks very much for that tip, glad I asked, and they will be staying in the refridgerator! Steve 27 seeds left.

Torsten, It routinely gets lower than -30C here in the winter, even if it were protected I don't think it would survive, though who knows for sure. Once established, it might make it -? Is it alright to freeze the seeds to store them? Is there a better way? Thanks, Steve

Torsten, Phlebs would not survive the winter outside where I live. What I meant was that a controlled, indoor setup can be located anywhere geographically, as long as suitable conditions are maintained. I'm sure they would do well outside even here in Canada for the summer months, though. Steve

My thoughts in posting the "seed ad" here were to find the best people for the job of growing them. I think distributing them to multiple people who are serious in growing them (ie. willing to pay $6 for a seed) is about the best thing I can do with them. Only people who have knowledge of/interest in A. phlebophylla would be interested in these seeds. For me, this is a worthwhile challenge, an interest, and a hobby. This will be my second attempt; I was able to keep them about a year the first time, and I think I can use this previous experience to do better this time. You haven't even given me a chance to do any screening yet ;) Besides distributing this plants' genetics, it doesn't matter where you are if you set up a controlled environment to grow them in.

I did not collect the seeds, I purchased them, and they were not cheap. My only interest is in the preservation of this unique plant. I'm in it for the challenge of keeping a species alive that has very few individual representatives maintaining its' existence. I have previous experience growing phlebs a few years ago. I believe I can use that knowledge to help me keep them alive and happily growing. I am in Ontario Canada, and am actually the author of the website Tryptamind.com If you have any ideas for modification/addition to the acacia phlebophylla webpage (or any other), I would be happy to add them to the site.

Hello, I have 45 seeds of Acacia phlebophylla (Mt. Buffalo Waddle) for sale. I would greatly prefer to sell these few seeds of this interesting and extremely rare/threatened plant to people who have had success growing acacias, and who are up for the challenge of growing a uniquely tricky species. I will sell the seeds for $6 each, including shipping for any #. for more information: http://www.tryptamind.com/acacia_phlebophylla.html Please contact [email protected] or PM me. Steve

Hello all, I am going to be growing seeds of Acacia phlebophylla, and was wondering if anyone from this forum that lives near or visits Mt. Buffalo Park would be able to send me a package of the rocky "dirt/soil" from the area, for me to grow the plants in. I could pay in a few acacia phlebophylla seeds or in $. I live in Ontario Canada. Also, I am looking for any ideas as to how I could obtain the correct type of rhizobium bacteria that fix nitrogen in the roots of this species. I have grown phleb seeds a couple years ago with help from Torsten (through Druid), and had a high germination success rate but lost all the plants within a year. I would like to try again, this time with a more controlled environment. I will have some limited # of extra seeds available from this uber-rare species if anyone here is interested. It is my own site that comes up in the number 1 position on google when the name of this plant is entered: http://www.google.com/search?complete=1&am...G=Google+Search If you would like to contact me, either send a PM or email [email protected] . Mention Acacia phlebophylla in the subject line. -Steve acacia_phlebophylla.html
