Sterculia quadrfida - Peanut Tree

Strychnos lucida - Strychnine Bush

Brachychiton paradoxus - Red Flowered Kurrajong

[eataust]

You know, Strychnine Bush doesn't sound all that attractive ... !! :)

[darcy]

Why's that? Sounds better than 'Shitwood or 'Dog's Balls'

[roughbarked]

Not sure I know any plants by those names..

[planthunter]

When any of my plants do well, particularly the more challenging ones to grow then they are known as the Dogs Bollocks

I once had an aunt-in-law whom gave me a passionfruit vine.. and she said .. "when you plant it tell it I told you to tell it that it had better grow or I'll personally come back and rip its bloody arms off"

It actually covered the side of the house and outdoor laundry/garage for some seven years.. then we moved.. and it promptly died.

I might just try that on the next batch of Bush Tomato seeds. I'll tell em that they had better hurry up and germinate or they'll be going down the bog!

Gyrocarpus americanus (helicopter tree, shitwood)

Grewia retusifolia (Dog's Balls)

[darcy]

The best bit about dog's balls is that they actually taste good, like a raisin caramel flavour; but little meat over the bones

[roughbarked]

well there you go.. Common names can be fun.

I'm interested in Grewia retusifolia seeds, do you have a few to send me? I'm willing to pay you for them.

Greetings,
