Posted by mistymorn Brisbane Qld (My Page) on Wed, May 4, 05 at 0:48
Hubby and I are driving down to Melbourne in a couple of weeks and are bringing down
some cuttings for my Family to try growing, and have a few spares. White, Tricolour,
Also some mystery ones given to me to pot up but dont know the colour.
Also have pieces of the tricolour one " Fruit Salad " not potted up.
If you are interested please e-mail me I will be staying in the Lower Plenty / Yallambie area.
MM.
This flower came from the "Fruit Salad" pieces.

| That's a wonderful offer, and the fruit salad variety is a beautiful frangipani. It's almost impossible to get anything other than the common yellow/white frangi in Melb, so you'll probably be inundated with takers--I reckon you should at least get treated to a cup of coffee from one of Melbourne's fine cafes for your kindness! (And remember to wear layers of clothing, so that you can peel them off as you step from the cold outdoors to heated interiors: don't make the mistake of wearing thermal underwear, or you'll find yourself walking around in your own personal sauna!) |

| I don't want to rain on your parade but you might want to check out what you can bring across the border with regard to plants, fruits and vegetables. There are strict rules if coming down by road to protect against fruit fly. I may be wrong about plant specimens but you might want to check prior to avoid disappointment. |

| Thanks everyone for your input but having lived in Melbourne for 45 years believe me I know all about the weather. Sorry Lorraine if we were coming via that way I would pop in with one or two or three for you and all different colours. Pepino I dont want to bring fruit or vegetables across the border. I have posted down so many kilo's of plants the past year free to our GW Members so whats the difference with road travel by Aust Post and road travel by us. I have tried to find out before about it but your DPI web site does not help much. Having traveled the NSW/VIC border many times in my youth and sitting by the border eating a tin of ham so they would not bin it ( they said ) and seeing them dispose of a small amount of fruit that was then, this is now last time I went through there was no one on the border at all just a bin with a sign on it saying more or less dump your fruit before you go across the border But no sign saying please dispose of Frangipani cuttings.

| You might be right about plants and cuttings. I know there is no one sitting there any more but they do random road checks and once you're in there is no amnesty. I hope you saved the state from any fruit flies there may have been in that tin of ham LOL. |

| Pepino That tin of ham came from a supermarket in """Melbourne""" that I bought when I lived there and taken across the border to NSW where we were camping at the time and we were not allowed to bring it back into Vic as they had a ban on pork meat then as well as fruit even if we purchased both in Victoria. I have no intention of bringing unwanted plants into Victoria so I will leave them all here and send my Sisters ones down by road by Aust Post.

| It is so hard to find frangipani cuttings here. I'm looking for a cutting over 1.5 meters and would love to pay for your troubles. |
