Wanted :) - any various seeds (preferably viable)

Age : 35 Joined : 26 Apr 2008 Posts : 181 Location : Cairns

I feel like I am a bit new to this site, but I will be a bit cheeky...

If you have some seeds you'd like to sell, and preferably they're viable, I am after any various cacti (and succulents).

I will pay for postage and any handling fee you feel is acceptable.

I could do with between 30 - 100 different seeds.

You used to be able to buy a Yates - Cacti Mix - but I haven't seen that for yonks!

Hope you can help.

Cheers

Paul

I will shoot you a PM about some seeds shortly. Though you probably want to get some from a few different members here so you get a good variety of genera and species. At the moment I don't have a huge range of seeds, but night have some of interest to you.

EDIT: Postage will be about $2, so not too bad really.

Oh yeah - the seed mix, if you have bunnings up your way, they do a good cacti seed mix, but in my opinion - get some of their propogation sand too and mix it in 50/50 in with the cacti mix. Probably be better with a bit less loam.

calycium, if you have enough to spare i'd also like some gymo seed. I dont know if you have seen it but i posted a pic of a gymo in the cacti id section, can trade if you wish

Also...I have seen those Yates cacti mix packets around. I bought one a few years ago with decent results. Saw some packets recently though. They were amongst all the other seed packets at my local mitre 10. I think you just have to search around a bit and you will find them.

Though I bet you will end up getting some good seeds here. Still have to look see what I have around.

hi there, Ive just joined this forum and this is my first posting.
I have some fresh trichocereus spachianus seeds . and a much larger diameter cactus that has a most amazingly large flower. dont know the name and havent seen anything like it online. I have heaps of photos for ID purposes. have a couple of small plants of it but heaps of seed. if you are interested. Im after small globose varieties that can tolerate our colder winter climate. down to -6. have some euphorbia seeds also.

You should throw a pic of the larger diameter plant on for ID purposes.
