Sydney Plant Swap - 02/03/13 @ Bents basin

[veritas]

hopefully be able to bring a mimosa, hbwr, some rue

[El Presidente Hillbillios]

i have no idea what ill have to trade,

Dood, you want to make this the time we try some coleus? Its taking over my greenhouse starting to drive me crazy

[theuserformallyknownasd00d]

Absolutely HB! Is there any interest to camp their the night before the meet? Can we even camp there?

I will have some of my foliage to bring too and distribute to a few members. How were we gonna do this, quid and smoke? I can attempt an acetone extract as well, possibly try 25x laced back into leaf?

[El Presidente Hillbillios]

camping at bents is ok, it is a propper camp site with showers and toilets. although you do have to pay

[theuserformallyknownasd00d]

If others were keen I would be. Would need to be tamer than we'd like I assume but that's not always a bad thing. Any thought out there?

[whitewind]

Second the coleus experiment

[El Presidente Hillbillios]

Yeah i think me and at least another member will camp there the satdy night. Dont think it will be that wild, we just like camping LOL

[theuserformallyknownasd00d]

Yeh I need more excuses to get the camper van out also! Ill see what I can muster up, I might have other duties whilst in Sydney if the mrs says so.

I think I might bring a few Peres grafts and recently harvested brug/heimia/phalaris seed also. If I have the heart ill take a few very small sections of a variegated lobivia I have and a few variegated prickly pear pads.

[Change]

I wouldn't mind making a camp out of this plant swap, its been a long time since ive been to Bents Basin but i remember it being beautiful.

Ill bring along a few seedlings, A. maidenii A. obtusifolia D.Metel maybe even some n u s t y k a

[Psylo]

Out of interest, Hillbilly, how bad is the 'kids factor' on weekends at Bents Basin ? We are looking for somewhere for ceremonial purposes in a few weeks or so, thats close to water and moderately quiet.

[El Presidente Hillbillios]

it does get people there even in quiet times. It is pretty big so you can usually find a reasonably quiet spot, but i dont know. Depends how private you need.

if it was me i would look at some colo sites for that kinda thing, if you need reasonable easy access that is. Theyre usually alot less people, especially the further up you go.

[goneski]

I don't really have anything to trade (yet), but definitely keen to come along and camp.

[theuserformallyknownasd00d]

Mrs has given me the all clear so ill be there to camp also if that's ok. Don't worry about not having anything mate, ill have a bit of stuff to give people regardless of trades

[theuserformallyknownasd00d]

Bumping call for more Sydney folks! Maybe a mod can move this to the news and notices forum?

[Roopey]

Maybe just make a post about it in the Sydney Meet thread, that way more people might notice that don't come in here.

I'll see what I can find to trade/give people on the day.

[whitewind]

Acerola (Malpighia emarginata)

Sassafrass (Doryphora sassafrass)

Kawakawa (Macropiper excelsum)

It's in my diary

EDIT: Just a few, I'm potting some up for my bush garden ;)

[mushroomman]

I should be able to make it , but I don't have much to trade ATM

[theuserformallyknownasd00d]

Ill be adding some scelly and desoplerma to my bring along also! Some Peres grafts too if I haven mentioned em already.

Unfortunately I won't be camping as an old mate wants to catch up since ill be in town. I this falls through ill be camping for sure!

[theuserformallyknownasd00d]

So peeps, this satdy coming!!!!! What would suit you better? Mid morning? Lunch? Early arvo?

[whitewind]

11ish!

[Horus]

Well seeing some peeps will be camping Sat night, and peeps like me have a bit of travel, lunch.

No need to get there too early.

If I pot up some Khat runners is anybody interested.

[theuserformallyknownasd00d]

Ok well we shall say start congregating at 1130-12ish with "official" proceedings underway at 1? That way we can have a chat before hand and nobody misses out on the swap itself?

If people have excess plants, ill be cashed up if trade isn't suitable ;)

[theuserformallyknownasd00d]

And yes I'm interested mr hawk

[whitewind]

Yes please Colhawk, just a couple. Red? Is this plant swapping or trading or both? Do we need an ethno flower in our lapels / hair to be recognised?

[El Presidente Hillbillios]

me and toby will be there early, most of the people will know at least one of us.

if not pm me
