wooooooooooooooow.... where'd you get that? I am having a bad case of plant envy!

Stunning photographs of a stunning tree! Do you have that growing in your yard?

I am beyond envy. I'm moving!

Nice to see you again, Ron.

fouquieria what an absolute stunner.

What a magnificent specimen!! Never seen such a tree but like everyone else - WE ALL WANT ONE!! Thanks for posting. Kiwilad.

Gee Ron, if you are going to drive us all crazy with such beauties you should at least give us a seed source. THAT is one great looking plant!!

chris

fouquieria time to ask - do you have the tree or just the pics?

if you have the tree, do you have any seed to spare??

cheers

tony

Hi Tony,

Sorry, but I don't have any seeds. I do know someone online who has had access to a few seeds for the past two years but has been unable to germinate them. I'd sure like to try myself though.

Another tree that I would love to get seeds to is Lamiodendron magnificum.

Hi Ron - been a while since we mentioned captioncookia and lamiodendron - have you had any luck trying to find them?

I've been through most of the botanic gardens on the web and even Kew doesn't have them.

I tried writing to PNG botanic gardens for Lamiodendron - and to Neumea but didn't get a reply

has quite a few pics of seedlings, etc, but no contacts (or none that want to reply)

How's your hunting for this magnificent plant?

Hi Tony,

I haven't been actively pursuing this lately.

If you know who dean rallison is in Oz...he knew of someone who has two trees of Lamiodendron there...but he said the person was very protective of them.

Here in the States, a guy who runs a specialty nursery in LA had access to fresh seed twice but was unable to germinate the Captaincookia.

I keep an eye out, but otherwise I'm focusing on easier prey.
