    Last I checked Diggers had 2 types. I also got a whole bunch from Bunnings a while back. If they don't have them in stock, ask to speak to the person that does the orders (usually the only hort working opens on Mon and Tues) and see if they can get you some in. I forget who their supplier was sorry. I believe Garden Express also has them from time to time. Lol, you can see what gardening catalogues I get... :rolleyes:

    Cuttings of these are a pain (for me anyway), haven't tried seeds.

    Edit: Sorry dude, just noticed that you're in WA, so my suggestions may not be very useful. Haven't heard of any WA suppliers sorry.

     

    No worries thanks for the help! I will have a sniff around some decent nurseries and bunnings to see whats around.

    Anyone from WA had any luck finding this Camellia? I see standard Camellia's everwhere around here so they obviously are quite hardy and tolerant of our climate.

    GRRRR! I just tried so many places around perth, even ones that specialised in Camellia's and they dont have the Sinensis at all, John Coles apparently stopped growing them hahah what a joke! What is wrong with fat ass lazy people not wanting to grow their own tea in WA? :P

    Anyone that can source me a Camellia Sinensis, I will be bloody over the moon!! There is 2 on Ebay but nooooo... no sending to WA!! haha F**K WA quarantine wtf is wrong with a completely legal plant thats clean and in sterile peat moss?? Waaaaankers..

    I have to admit though, as much as I hate sensationalised media and believe that combined with greed are the roots of all evil, HHH have got a few things to answer for.

    To start with, a lot of the things they sell are not herbal or herbs whatsoever. Secondly, on various occasions when quizzed on the contents of some of their 'Herbal High pills' they didn't know what they contained whatsoever and were only able to give a vague sales pitch style explanation of their effects.

    I think this is false advertising and while I don't blame the as I know they want the best for their customers, they need to be trained on what they are selling, be it herbal, or the latest legal chemical to come out of china.

     

    I must agree with this.. while it does come down to the individual using his/her head and being bloody responsible (which 17yr olds are not). I have queried HHH on their smoking extracts and told her I was looking for an alternative to MJ, she did admit that their 1g herbal extract packets had a synthetic spray on them to "spruse" them up a bit. I tried one from HHH and another from a local shop, which was called Kronic.

    She told me that they would not stock Kronic for the fact that some bloke got fully hooked on it, haha. I tried the 'purple haze' Kronic and I have to say.. I was about as relaxed as I was from a Wild Lettuce tea, noticeable but not nearly as tasty or heavy as MJ. I certainly felt it had absolutely no addictive potential and I consider myself to have quite an addictive personality..

    I say it comes down to how smart/sensible the user is and whether they are aiming to destroy their body/liver or not! Drink coffee half hour all day every day and you'll be just as likely to f**k yourself up as if you were taking 4-5 capsules of "legal party pills" as apposed to the recommended 1. They are just as strong as a cup of good coffee, thats all! Buy some no-doz same effect!

    :worship: a smile rose upon my face as I worked my eyes up from the mould! I have a 30+cm 'green coleus' like this, I left her on the ground for roughly 10mins and my DOG bloody took every big leaf off it, so I dried them out for some potpourri. :wub:

    There is still alot of regrowth on the stems but only small.

    I know its a little off topic btotl.. but does any1 think with a little 'tlc' she will come back fit and fighting?

    I have read from quite a few sources that they are hardy little beasts that have come back from severe frosts if givin a little bit of love.

    Anyhow.. on topic. The 'hort' at my old landscape company used to make her own Pyrethryum spray from the plant and kill off moulds that would form over the late autumn, which I have never seen a white mould or heard of Pyrethryum killing any moulds. I have never tried it myself but she swore by it. How sensitive Coleus are to burning though I have no idea.

    Colliodial silver is dynamite! I recently got the worst cold/flu i have ever had, just wouldnt budge . I ended up squirting silver up each nostril with my head back and then gargled peroxide to kill whatever was causing the sore throat. Not as much fun as chilli chicken soup but it worked.

     

    hahah that is f**kin hardcore dude! I like it! Squirtin silver and gargling peroxide, that'll kill the bastards! hehe

    Hey,

    I am from Perth but am having a real hard time trying to find B. Caapi cuttings and P. Viridis cuttings locally. Another problem is W.A.'s brutal quarantine laws which makes it hard to order things from anywhere. A mate of mine in N.S.W who is also keen on ethnobotany said he will buy some plants online and then send me a cutting via express post.

    Do you think the cuttings should make it through fine and still be in good condition? I think sending them in rockwool would be good because sending something in soil could be messy and also risk introducing foreign pests.

    I looked into ordering seeds, however, from what I have read the chance of the seeds germinating is real low :(

    Regards,

    Migraineur

     

    Your cuttings should be fine via express post, make sure your friend uses sterile peat coir or rockwool just to keep them happy if they do happen to take a peek at it.

    Hey guys! I'm new to this forum but been into ethnobotany/pharmacology, organic chemistry and just horticulture in general for years and years. I cannot believe there is a forum such as The Corroboree, that allows all of us to trade and learn from one another and make the government actually realise that most plants are there to help us, not to destroy us.

    Anyways.. I am chasing some of the following beautiful plants, seeds or seedlings: Ephedra Sinica/Major, Tabernanthe Iboga or Voacanga Africana. Also after some Mimosa Hostilis. I have noticed on herbalistics that they have Voacanga, but they will not send to WA! :(

    So anyone within WA that may have one or all of these Species, I would absolutely LOVE to hear from you! Otherwise anyone willing to send a plant from over East I will pay whatever is required to Express it over plus the cost of the plant. Will trade 200-500+ HBWR seeds(UV treated) if just 1 seedling/cutting from any of the first four can be sent or however many it takes.

    I have to trade, plenty of HBWR seeds for growing(from Alligator Crk QLD), some Erythrina Fusca seeds and some P. Somniferum seeds. That is all I have to trade at the current time as the rest of the wonderful things I have are all still growing. If you are not interested in the seeds then I am more than happy to pay whatever price to own some of these gorgeous tropical plants.

    Hopefully someone out there can help me out with one of these! I would be speechless! :)

    Thanks guys!
