Hey everyone. I have a query that perhaps someone can help me with. I recently worked in a native nursery that did seed collecting on property owned by Mines set aside for regen/offsets whatever you want to call their bullshit.. Anyway along my wonderful journey of discovery of all the Native Flora I had ignored in the past, one particular species intrigued me. When we first bought it back to the nursery it was identified with the aid of Botanical Literature as Boronia rubiginosa. Only problem for me is I no longer have easy access to this literature used to identify the sub-species and can find absolutely no mention of the sub-species and not much of other sub-species. I did manage to make sure I saved 40-50 of the seeds so I could try germinate this beautiful scented plant at home. My worry is the difficulty in germination. I have not personally germinated these seeds myself, but I am told it takes a lot of effort and the success rate is low. The seeds is very hard, black kidney-bean shape. The person I talked to soaked in them in hot (not boiling) water for a while and had to individually score each seed with a razor. Even then germination rates were terrible. Has anyone had any experience with Boronia rubiginosa specifically or any of the other Boronia's? The Boronia rubiginosa has an absolutely intoxicating smell which I'm sure many on the Corroboree will be very fond of ;) Thanks for reading

This.Unfortunately there is 500 of these misinformed simpletons to every decent human capable of independent thought.

Wow I knew bout HAARP in USA but didn't know we had one here. Scary stuff....How long will mankind carry along manipulating the environment without fully understnding the consequences?

After looking at that teaser PDF I've decided to order a copy of SST from SAB. I'm a huge nerd but I still prefer hard copys. Author's like yourself deserve support! this information needs to be in the public realm Keep up the great work Trucha

Excellent thread! Wish I saw this a couple of years ago when I was working at a Native Landscaping/Seed collection + Bank. I'll happily take those off your hands enforfinder VvVvVv gets Copious amounts of Birds Eye Chilli seeds (Very good genes), Silk Tree seeds x30 (Not sure of proper Botanical name) and a few Boronia seeds ( Boronia rubiginosa - Plant is notable for it's strong, very sweet cannabis-like smell. Known locally as "dope bush"). VvVvVv

Any seeds left Tipz ? I'd love to have a grow at growing any of those species
