_Cursive Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Hi! As the topic says, if you do I don't have much to trade, though I have Toothache plant (Acmella Oleracea) seeds for trade. I don't have much else unfortunately.. Many thanks, James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogfrog Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 This lady sells silene capensis seeds sometimes.http://www.howtogarden.co.nz/index.php/catalog/herbs/She doesn't have them listed atm but I would try shoot her an email and ask cause smaller quantities are often available but not on website. She has lobelia inflata too, and a number of other interesting med herbs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Cursive Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Thanks bogfrog! I see you changed your name back. I did a little Google on Lobelia Inflata and it doesn't seem to be a dream herb. Good for clearing the throat and as a nicotine substitute. Thanks for the heads up and the link.

Nailthesnail Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 my silene's are in flower at the moment so could probably supply you heaps in a month or 2 (Idk how long it takes to go to seed pod) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nailthesnail Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 the only thing is a can't confirm nor deny if its actual silene capensis. The flowers look different but it is most definitely a silene 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wezza Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hey nailsnail, any chance youd consider sending a few seeds across the ditch? also cursive i have a calea seedling which i grew from SAB seed, i would recommend checking the shop. Germination rates were low, but with thousands of seeds in a pack and a bit of time your likely to get a result 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Cursive Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 Sweet! Thanks for the input! Appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghosty Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I have a few seeds left (they are tricky to germinate though) that silene plant pictured here seems to have very short flowers, mine has long ones like nicotiana quadravelvis (excuse spelling) id be glad to send them to you. "silene undulata". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
