-pops- Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I've been growing all sorts of oddities from seed for many years and I've grown Venus flytrap plants from bought specimens but I've never seeds for sale anywhere, even on line.Something I'm looking for is patchouli seeds. I've grown these plants in the past using seed I brought back from India but I've either used them all or lost them and I've tried all over to get some more without success. If anyone has any ideas, the Linnaean name is Pogostemon cablin or Pogostemon patchouli. Not a very exciting plant to look at but it has the characteristic heady, almost narcotic, patchouli scent - which reminds me of the glorious days of the 1960's, Woodstock, San Francisco, flower power and all that.

-pops- Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 No secret. I fully admit to wearing loon pants, block heel shoes, beads, beard and having hair so long I could (but never did) wipe my bum with it. :) I still have the beard but that, like my hair, is trimmed to a No. 1 or 2 now.

Maybe there's a swapper there who'll have some.http://www.geocities.com/missbanji/seedswapping.htmlI have always looked gorgeous. :DSIGH!

-pops- Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Thanks for that, artist, I'll have a look later.Patchouli originates in Asia and is grown as a crop in India. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
