Where are you in AU .

Sorry Brian they are not a group I know much about. I also thought Stapelia, and when I searched PlantFiles for Stapelia, it also brought up Orbea variegata. because of the synonym and scanning down the images, that was obviously the one that matched. I don't know much about succulents generally, although I do have a Stapelia plant in a pot, but I am still waiting for it to flower to learn which species it is!

Hi Guys thanks for the welcome and speedy replies!
So now I know what one of my succulents is and only about 15 to go LOL!
Cheers

G'Day Flatzie, While I'm happy to try to ID your cacti you might get a better guide from the C & S forum.
Brian

Budgie says Hi to Flatzie (sounds weird)
Enjoy this place. I do!
Cheers

Hi Ladies,

Very new here. I'm from Adelaide SA. Wondering if anyone knows where i can get/order or purchase a "Jasmine Sambac" or a "Grand Duke Tuscany"? Would dearly love to hear from anyone has an info about it.

Please feel free to email me ferolyn_serrano@yahoo.com.au

Cheers!

Ferolyn

Hi Ferolyn,
Pleasure to "meet" another Adelaideian! Here is a link to the Plant Files entry on the plant you are looking for: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/55233/ It seems to be quite a tropical species and would need a lot of winter shelter here in Adelaide - I would think that any frost would almost certainly kill it.

You could try to DMail MyaC http://davesgarden.com/members/myaC/ and see if she can find you a source up her way.

Ciao, KK.

Hi Ferolyn
Welcome to the aussie forum

Hi to All, I'm new to these pages. A keen gardener in what USED to be called the Garden City--Toowoomba, Queensland. I say used to be because we are on Level 5 restrictions with absolutely no end in sight. I have lost so many of my well established plants because there are just not enough buckets of water to keep 1 1/4 acres going. I have a beautiful Bromeliad garden under my Native Frangipani tree which I am very proud of & a Wisteria covered pergola on the Western side of the house which houses my fern & shade plant collection, along with a small fish pond & fall that keeps the humidity up slightly. I have recently started collecting succulents & have several epis that have almost finished flowering now. One was placed in the fork of an Ironbark tree & this year it was a picture of fire engine red flowers that had people stopping in the street to comment on it. They certainly thrive on neglect. I am not too crash hot around a computer - how do I get to the Tea House? Thanks to Chrissy back in 2008 for the "link fing", that's the sort of info I need. well, according to the weather forecast, we are going to have showers this weekend, not holding my breath as we have heard it all before & just been spat at but have to say, the kitchen is FULL of ants, fingers crossed.

Here we are ... just click onto this

Good to have you back holty. Keep posting!

Hi Guy's, I started on Daves when I lived in Middle Boambee near Coffs Harbour NSW, now am in
Alstonville (Plateau) between Ballina and Lismore NSW it's two & half hours north of where we were.
The soil here is red and rich. I am led to believe we can grow anything here.
Have had a few inches of rain the past 2 days. Very hot and humid at the moment.
This is the by pass going around Alstonville to Lismore.
Hel

After seeing part of that beautiful region of NSW, I would have to agree with you hel.You do live in paradise!

hel, you live where the Tibouchinas are, am I right.....they used to be Lasiandras....I saw a photo of the main street once.
Beautiful place.
Anthony, great view...I am very fond of Hobart and surrounds.
Dianne

Hi Whizz , played golf down there last year with the "OZ Lefties" (NALG) and Claremont was special .
Remember a tour through the chocolate factory in 1974 , the LAST time I was down there !!!!!!
The botanical gardens wasn't bad either and was even better this time .

Hi Hel , (Helen maybe ? ) or HELL , your call .:).
Alstonville plateau is about the best it gets , forget Byron and Bangalow ... .
Yep , after what seems a lifetime the bypass seems to be happening in a millisecond .

Holty.

Holty,
Helen, your right but there was another Helen so I shortend it.I can't believe the soil, they say it's volcanic. Everything I put in grows. Only been here since July 2009.
Byron is so over rated as is Bangalow. Money! Money! Money! The stupid thing is people pay it.
Dianne,
Alstonville Tibouchinas, Lasiandras, you are right, are beginning to flower now, will get a pic tomorrow.
This is a Tibouchina Jules.

Doing some planting of advanced trees soon and have purchased 10 cubic meters of "Alstonville Red" to mix with the alluvial stuff around here . I will post a few photos of work in progress when I start.

Good move Holty, you won't be sorry but don't work out in that hot sun, well, it was there a few minutes ago, rain now.
The Tibouchina I promised you Dianne.

Lucky you with the rain Hel, it's dry and hot here.
I sort of replied on the other thread by mistake..duh
Alstonville must be beautiful now.

Hi
Im in Morayfield Qld I have just recently moved from Gladstone also in Queensland so far im having lots of fun gardening at the new place I have been able to design my gardens from scratch just the way I want as there was no existing gardens before. I have found lots of interesting things to reuse as garden features from the tip shop such as broken chairs that have been turned into planters also an interesting tree stump that was going to the tip which has become a feature after a good hose down.

Hi jazzk.......post pics of your new garden in the November thread or start a new one......
Then come on over to the Tea Room and introduce yourself,
Everyone will enjoy watching your garden grow.
Dianne

Welcome jazzk ...pop into the tea room and say hi ^_^

Hi Folks , I am a newbie to DG. I live in the South West of Victoria in Lakes and Crater Country. Camperdown area- lovely volcanic soil and 'sometimes' good rainfall. Also new to this area after moving from the Wimmera where 11years of drought finally got to me. - wouldn't you know - it has rained often since I left but no regrets I love this soil - yummy enough to eat! LOL

Welcome chookie.
I am not that far from you .. Just near Merino.

Did you bring all this heat with you ?
I know the wimmera well , having lived near Ouyen for a while. Its certainly different down here.
I agree, there is some lovely soil around but I have mostly clay here..
Pop over to our Tea Room and say hello. We are a diverse lot ,growing lots of different plants.
Come and tell us about yourself & what you like to grow.
Jean.
