| Have a lot of ripe pods if any one wants seeds for themselves or friends for postage - but they are large seed, parcel-sized stuff, not cheap to mail. |

| Alison, I can still remember as a child making boats out of the big pods. (and throwing the huge seeds at each other) |

| John, I'll bet you weren't the only one making pod boats! Rug, I'm afraid you have your e-mail blocked and no way of contacting you through your home page. There are some un-opened pods, the trouble is after all this time there may be some insect damage. Given the nature of the seed (more like an avocado-sized bean, really) and your being in WA - with very stringent quarantine requirements, I think we'd best forget it. |

| Hi, do you have any left? I'd like to use these as an exercise for my kids - the seeds are really visible and tactile, and the plant grows fast and strongly. I just can't seem to find any un-germinated ones in the shops at all. If you left the pods behind would that reduce the insect issue? |

Desmondo,
You also have your e-mail blocked and no access through your home page.
So if you read this, I had a hunt on the embankment and could find 6 seeds looking reasonable and un-eaten (it is a long time since my original post).
I agree, they are an excellent choice for children. Even gave me a bit of fun I could not resist planting a few and they are growing strong and straight and glossy. They make a good patio plant for a long time, then maybe you can find somewhere to "liberate" them.
No charge for the seed of course but it will be a small parcel and a few dollars for the postage.
Please contact me direct soonish - privately - with your e-mail and postal details.
