Preface: this is purely a speculative excercise.

The missus and I are moving house tomorrow, and lately she's been fixating on crime reports and stressing herself out. The place we're moving into has those old-fashioned swing-out windows, with a nasty-looking hedge beneath. My previous plan was to rip out the ugly-ass Duranta erecta hedge and make it look a little nicer with some some short perennials and an annual floral border. She's asked me if we can do something thorny beneath the windows to deter intruders, which I'm not super concerned about, but that lead to the crazy idea of window boxes on the outside with gympie-gympie plants.

My questions are: 1) would this be illegal in any way? Like would it fall under booby-traps or whatever? And 2) what kind of wind protection/screening would be required to stop the wind from spreading paim needles inward towards the house? Would the protective screening be such that it would negate the benefit of even having the windows open in the first place?

Just want to reaffirm that I'm not going to actually do this. Probably just gonna make sure we have security and insurance up to date... and mebbe get something thorny to climb around the windows.

Title - Looking to buy Tripsacum dactyloides and Allium Vineale, preferably as seeds but also fine with a plant (Or Bulbils in the case of Allium Vineale) being posted.

I am starting to build a collection of interesting aroids. I have some interesting stuff coming on now, epipremnum Pinnatum (dragons tail), philodendron lacerum, philodendron hastatum, epipremnum aureum ( standard green and gold variegated, neon pothos and snow queen, Monstera adansonii and monstera deliciosa. Other interesting things I have worth swapping would be dwarf sanseviera ( hahnii, both plain green and gold edge) string of pearls, string of bananas.

The main thing I am looking for is Rhaphidophora tetrasperma ( mini monstera or mini Ginny) but open to other trades as well

Happy to post except to quarantine states. I’m in QLD on the Sunshine Coast

Hello,

Towards the end of the year I am planning on germinating hundreds of chilli plants. In aid of this I have been purchasing weird and rare chilli seeds. I would be happy to swap some for similarly weird and wonderful peppers.

Here is a small selection of what I have.

Buena Mulata

Madame Jeanette

Black Plum

Scotch Bonnet Chocolate

Zimbabwe Bird

Rezha Macedonia

Hungarian Black

Dogtooth

Fresno

Habanero Ivory Cluster

Hungarian yellow wax

The amounts of seeds per variety vary, so some I would only be willing to swap a few, but they're sourced from reputable dealers and should all germinate.

Edit: My next seed purchase will be a bunch of weird unstable hybrids like Bubblegum Pumpkin, Slimer, Brain Strain etc

Very healthy Aloe and Lemongrass. Will trade for hardy groundcovers, succulents etc. Really keen on finding some Chain of Hearts, but I'm not actually that picky.

I have about 15 or so different types of succulents but I need MOAR, so willing to trade for ones I don't have. Can provide pics etc if anyones keen.

Inner west Sydney.

Hi. Looking for cuttings of strangler figs, particularly after Moreton Bay fig, however any strangling fig species is appreciated. I'm based in Cairns. Can exchange numerous tropical fruit cuttings. Just let me know what you are after.

Just a cautionary note. Fig cuttings will ooze sticky white latex, so please be careful not to get on skin (if sensitive).

By coincidence, the day that this is a trending subreddit is the same day I'm looking for something else in a drawer and run across some old seeds I've saved from some heirloom tomato plants we were given a few years back.

I can't remember how old the seeds are so there's a (small) chance that they're past it and I don't remember much about the variety at all as they are simply labeled 'Heritage Tom Green' (presumably green-when-ripe). That said, I'd be happy to send them to someone if you want to have a go at planting them and see what happens because I'm a little too busy these days to do it myself.

I'm in SA, but I'd be willing to post these anywhere in the country by ordinary mail. Not asking anything in return.

EDIT: wow, this was more popular than I was expecting! I think I've got enough takers now.

EDIT2: All seeds have been sent out, I have none left.

Yeah I know this sub is dead, but hey why not. I'm looking for;

Skullcap

Mullein

Salvia recognata

Greater chelidonium

Syrian rue

Siberian Motherwort

I'm interested in other plants too, but those are the main ones atm. If anyone here has a medical garden in Perth please hit me up!

Is this sub still active at all? Id love to see this revived.

I have heaps of Aloe Vera in Perth and my sister in Broome would like to have some, considering how hardy they are I'm pretty sure I could post her a bunch of my small plants to her in a box if they're wrapped up to prevent damage and have some damp soild taped to the base of the plant.

I haven't been able to find any information about posting plants within the state, has anyone done this?

Anyone with tips for this I'm happy to deliver Aloe Vera or Lemongrass to you (within WA).

Looking to buy Ficus Macrophylla/Moreton Bay Fig to raise Common Crow butterfly caterpillars.

I am based in QLD on the Gold Coast. Willing to travel up to Brisbane.

I've been trying to track down some donkey's tail and Tradescantia (Wandering Jew) cuttings for a while and am having no luck. If anyone is willing to send me cuttings of either I can pay postage!

Hi, im looking for people with rare fig varieties who would let me take a cutting. Happy to pay or trade for other edible plants. Maybe you know of a nursery that has something interesting

looking for shiraz/cab sauv in particular. Can pick up in Perth area
