Cas, It has full sun for about the first half of the day, then shade in the afternoon as the fence blocks the sun. It could be leaning away from the fence to...
Yes Bill, I think it would be risky. However the best thing about B coccinea is that nurseries commonly stock replacements for the ones we east coasters kill...
G'day Banksia Bunch, As said, I had left many of my seedling banksias(speciosa, ericifolia, prionotes, occidentalis, integrifolia, blechnifolia, repens,...
G'day Geoff, I'm so sorry to hear you lost so many baby-banksias. I do hope I can help you with some advice; don't give up too soon with those little buggers...
Thanks to Cas and Margaret for the advice on the Coccinea. I'll keep you informed of any developments. I've got another problem now. I bought a fairly mature...
Hi Bill Looks more like a 'serrata' type of plant. [ saw blade type leaves ] Could it be menziesii or perhaps aemula? Best wishes Steve in Tassie ... From:...
G'day Liesbeth, As always, it's wonderful to hear from you and your ideas and opinions. Anyone that can grow the plants that you do in Europe is worth...
Hi Bill, It looks to me like B. attenuata. The dwarf form of this species is quite readily available and I suspect it may be one of these. Anyway it looks to...
Bill - I agree with Phil. I suspect it may be attenuata - something about it looks different to aemula or serrata (habit) Cas PS: Will see you in Perth...
Geoff, I find banksias are happier as their pots get bigger -they seem to have more reserve. I think potting earlier rather than later has been helpful and...
G'day Cas, Thanks for your input. I do place trays under my seedlings' pots but due to the dengue mossie up here I fill the tray with fine sand to absorb the...
..........If found here with standing water in trays or whatever you will be prosecuted..... !?!?!? - (the things you learn about other places...) Anyway, good...
That's an idea for me to take up, have had quite a few losses down here,
which I felt might be due to lack of water although I do water them each day. Did'nt...
G'day Steve! Long time no chat! My seedlings need a small reserve of moisture, particularly when in small tubes, as our humidity and evaporation rates here...
G'day Geoff, Hope you don't mind me mixing in with your conversation with Steve! Good grief, that's some place to live in, dengue mozzies and things. I'm glad...
Hi all, thanks to all the replies regarding my mystery Banksia. I looked the various suggested species up on the Australian National Botanic Gardens website,...
Hi Cas and all, Been away and seem to have missed some messages. Can we have a show of hands of those planning to go to the ASGAP conference in Perth this...
Hi Wendy, It's only Cas and myself going to Perth as far as I know now. Liesbeth (Netherlands) ... From: Wendy Goonan To: banksias@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Hi Liesbeth What a great opportunity to fill up the bags with some seeds!!!! I presume a stash is organised? Have a great trip Best wishes Steve ... From:...
Hi Steve, Yes, a great opportunity indeed. Er, yes, well, er, 'stash'. Yes. Er, whatsthat? Can't find it in my dictionary. I supposed it's organized though,...
Hi Liesbeth Yes in hindsight perhaps a poor choice in terminology, however Australians
are somewhat prone to slang and perhaps I am in particular.!!!!! Would...
stash is colloquial for hoard, with a particular connotation for cannabis, so I guess that can be generalised to any plant product! ... From: b.a.uijtewaal...
...Just one more question, what sort of long term prospects has it got in that large pot? Will I need to repot it to a bigger pot later, or transplant it into...
I¹m going too. Can¹t wait. I¹m also going on the ³eastern² pre-conderance tour, as its an area I haven¹t seen before. Cheers David ... Re: [banksias]...
Hi Steve, Yes, by now I do know Australians have some strange ways of expressing themselves at times. I love that. Besides, I spent a year in Melbourne back in...
