    Hi, I would love to get hold of some franjipanni cuttings. I had franjipanni's when I lived in Sydney, but was always told Victoria was too cold. However I've just recently seen some extremely healthy ones growing in my area. Unfortunately I don't know the owners and so can't get cuttings.

    I would dearly love to get some. Happy to pay for postage plus a little extra, or swap some seeds. See my last post on cuttings for a list of the seeds I have.

    Gardens for food are fantastic, but I'm a perfume freak as well!!! HELP

    I'd just go and take a few and if anyone said, "Wot", I'd tell them to "F%$@ Off!" and run like heck! but only because they deserve it...

    I too have access to loadsa frangipani. Am trying to get my little bro to part with a couple of branches from his dark burgundy one which is just gorgeous. Let me know if you are still looking for cuttings.

    I can't believe some people are so tightarsed that they would say no.
    Meany Bums!!!

    They're on their way !

    3 different colour combinations:

    1. Yellow / White
    2. Maroon
    3. Orange / White

    I drove past one place and stopped to talk to the owner and he willingly gave cuttings (actually his cow had knocked them off the tree and they were laying on the ground).

    They should arrive by weeks end. Good luck with them.

    Frangi's

    Hi Luckylouie!

    Sounds like Derekh can help you out with your request! I wish i could grow these beautiful flowers in Tassie (my favourite - along with gerberas!)

    I'm actually still sitting here stunned that your neighbours were so rude! Brings me back to reality!

    Best of luck with your new cuttings . . .

    Cheers
    Lyn
