Tripitaka Posted May 18, 2002 Assasin you have us all curious, hoping the news isn't bad. Fractal, nice to hear you again, where are you these days if not in Cairns? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pablo Posted May 18, 2002 someone noticed! thanks fractal, i was tripping when i posted it, maybe i should have made the subject header a bit more descriptive eh saying goodbye cause we're moving house and i have to leave it behind, it's always been my favourite plant and i've spent alot of time sitting in it's shade resting or meditating, when i'm tripping i feel like i have some connection with it... i'm gonna miss it, hope the neigbours take good care of it.

Torsten Posted May 18, 2002 yeah, perth is too adventurous for assassin.... he merely moved up the street Just think, you can still see your woodrose every few days as you walk past and if you get desperate you can always creep into the yard under the cover of darkness and nick a few seeds. In fact, you should do that anyway, cos as far as I remember that first lot of seed you got was from a very potent batch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fractalhead Posted May 29, 2002 Hi guys, I know the feeling assassin. When we moved out of our house in cairns it was a traumatic experience leaving some of our more deeply rooted loved-ones. Meg [hi meg!!] will tell you about what lengths we went to to keep our babies 'in the family'. Still i'm curious to go back and see how the plants we left in the ground at our old house are getting on after six months. I wonder whether the new tenants even know what is right under their noses. I'd say the brugs would be the first to get hacked back. ;(. BTW, Yeah i'm at uni in perth learning all about chemistry, biology, drugs and all things in between. I always have my eyes peeled for interesting ethnobotany-related facts, and have been picking up little topics of interest that i will have to share with you in the near future once i can make some conclusions myself... Have been so focussed on doing my best that i have been very busy. Too busy to even garden as much as i would like... but... I'm hoping to get some work experience at the end of the year doing some plant cell/tissue culture etc. BTW Big Thanks to Meg and Rev for their 'horticultural hospitality'. I will be in contact soon, Meg, about our July cairns visit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gomaos Posted June 2, 2002 Don't know if anyone will remember, this question goes out mainly to Darklight and torsten: I bought a hbwr cutting of mulga at eb1, now it has prospered and taken over the better part of a tree, and also has set seed. Can either of you remember whether mulga's strain was any good as in LSA content? Suppose I'll find out when seeds are ready for picking, i. e. brown....

Darklight Posted June 3, 2002 No, sorry gom, wouldn't know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darklight Posted June 3, 2002 You're over at ethnobotany-australia.net too aren't you? He'll probably pop up there sooner or later and you can ask him yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted June 3, 2002 gomaos, Floyd and Mulga have the var nervosa strain and are probably only propagating this one as they propagate by cuttings. (ie, it's the good one) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t st tantra Posted June 6, 2002 still experimenting,but i think immature[white] seeds may be stronger.other people also recommend this. t s t . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gomaos Posted June 6, 2002 Hm, interesting. Maybe I should find out. Also, before I post a whole new topic: What's the best way to take hbwr cuttings? Put the cutting straight into sand/soil/potting mix, or immerse the roots to be into water with rooting hormone (clonex)and wait for roots to form, salvia style? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted June 7, 2002 there should be some threads around about this. Basically they don't like it wet, so water is no good. But as there isn't really a reliable or high yielding method yet, you can experiment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Posted June 7, 2002 Hi Gom Torstens right they dont really like water,but those ones I sent you were done salvia style and I reckon I have approx 80% success rate.How are they by the way?I still have one or two for trade if anyone is interested.

gomaos Posted June 8, 2002 they're fine, in the shade house, waiting for spring... do you think now would be a good time to take cuttings, or should that better wait till spring as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mesqualero Posted June 8, 2002 Is the one I got from you the same var nervosa strain gomaos? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gomaos Posted June 8, 2002 I'm quite certain yours is of fractalhead's strain (north queensland) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Posted June 8, 2002 I think you will have best results if you wait till spring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yeti101 Posted June 8, 2002 I know this is slightly of the topic now, but I would like to thank assassin for giving me a whole stack of plants and other goodies he didn't want because he is moving. Expect me to be giving away plants etc in the coming months as I propogate them. I will end up with too much stuff, and I want to give something away, to even up the balance because various people have given me alot. - Yeti [This message has been edited by Yeti101 (edited 08 June 2002).] [This message has been edited by Yeti101 (edited 08 June 2002).] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
