Ethnopiate Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) The Perth South of the River gardening groups (2 mainly) on FB have tons of Frangi's, and heaps of other really interesting stuff too! I got some variegated mugwort from a lady who swapped it for a strawb plant. Mugwort from seed, I learned, will revert back to it's original single coloured leaves. They only way to keep the freak strain alive is transplanting. Lots of that sorta thing goes on. Lots of swapping, lots of lovely old ladies with heads crammed full of years of gardening knowledge and happy to share, lots of seed saving and posting, some selling, a few meets... good if u are a painter and property maintenance person like I as well. Also, I am urgently chasing some PRINTS! New miscroscope (well, macro from an old mobile phone cam & PCB!) needs testing with fresh samples! Have 2 x p.subaeraginosa prints I am happy to swap... Please PM me. Cheers! Edited July 1, 2014 by Ethnopiate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bush Turkey Posted July 1, 2014 Also there is a couple of Perth cactus and succulent groups on FB. Some cheap and free cacti on them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ethnopiate Posted July 1, 2014 Dead right. Perth real cacti and succullents had some ripper pach's, Michael is the guys name. I got a thick as your leg 1m tall specimen in a nice big pot for $10 with a couple of other bits an pieces chucked in for free (elephant ears, firesticks, a mysterious and weird cactus/cuccullent hybrid... Amazing garden too. Opuntias, agaves, heaps of diff varieties of cactus and bamboos. Have yet to see a melted wax bridg tho! ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ethnopiate Posted July 3, 2014 I'll have to drop you some Jam Wattles for future. They say the best time to plant a tree was 20yrs ago, the next best time is now! There is a nursery up north of Perth selling 50mm pots for about $1.50ea! Bargain! Shall bring about 20? hehe I'd be a tad careful about posting what you're gonna have up there publicly after recent events though mate... I'd say you might be under a little scrutiny? ;-) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cubism Posted July 3, 2014 There is a nursery up north of Perth selling 50mm pots for about $1.50ea! Just out of curiosity, what nursery is that? Would be keen to have a look around next time I'm up that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myco Posted July 3, 2014 i will only be planting cacti that are of the legal kind tricho's are a bit of a grey area but i probly wont be planting out any pach's thats for sure i wish something could be done to make the laws more clearer but dont worry i definitely plan on keeping it as legal as possible no lophs unfortunately its a shame i would have loved to have all that room to grow loads of beautiful lophs but no the man says your not allowed so i better just fall in line and do things properly i grow many different cacti and other plants and am happy to take cuts of anything anyone might have to plant out not just tricho's and cacti but anything really i like bonsai and grow lots of junipers and things by cuttings to so yeh im after anything really and thought i would put it out there if anyone doesnt have the room i know what its like to have to keep everything confined to pots it sucks so if anyone would like anything planted out and you can basically take what you want from it i plan on trying to do alot of wholesale stuff to other nurseries to and perhaps even bunnings if possible i know most of bunnings cacti come from collectors corner and one other cacti nursery south of perth so there isnt a whole lot of competition really and if i am providing a wide range of plants im sure i can get in there as a wholesaler i'll also be looking for some heirloom seeds to i would like to be able to grow lots of food aswell gonna plant out a bunch of fruit trees to cant wait 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
