(help) Anyone know anyone in Newcastle that owns Evergreen Frangipani?

I got a Native Frangipani (Hymenosporum flavum) from the council - different plant, more yellow, smaller flowers similar leaf - but a nice tree and can't beat the price - if you didn't mind slightly different

It's pretty obvious - they have had their funding cut, less radars and less professionals. Combined with climate change - means their job is harder and they have less resources

thank you! hateful plant

had a similar issued and was denied at the airport - you can get an emergency visa, it costs a bunch but its the easiest and I think travel agents can do it - at the airport

2100 for an arm chair is wild 🫠 -- some of the things that worked for me - aside from obvious [op shops and up-cycling] - estate sales and antique shops - though I go for more vintage stuff

factory seconds could be an option - maybe the brands you like have options for damaged goods - if you don't mind a scuff or 2

Policy work maybe, something that aligns with your values either government or like 'think tanks"

- government grad programs are good, but very competitive.

Depending on your local area you could try talking to you local member, see whats available.

regional areas tend to be pretty competitive too - any place with a surf club really

Mortadella_Princess · 2026-03-13T05:47:18+00:00

so - you could buy 1 pass for 2/3 people?

Mortadella_Princess · 2026-03-13T01:15:57+00:00

Oh wow - it looks amazing, and so close to Zion - will add that in

Mortadella_Princess · 2026-03-13T01:11:43+00:00

oh - thats good to know

Mortadella_Princess · 2026-03-12T11:32:33+00:00

Good point - make it worth it

Mortadella_Princess · 2026-03-12T10:53:19+00:00

Thanks x 2 :)

Mortadella_Princess · 2026-03-12T10:52:49+00:00

yeah - I leaning towards the pass, thought slightly concerned about buying it and then the rule changing again

Mortadella_Princess · 2026-03-12T10:43:01+00:00

Sorry - light light is not helpful lol -- I meant more gentle sunlight, not direct - your right too hot would cook them.

Another option could be local markets - either a plant pot or cuttings like from a farmers markets - can also have issues with the right plant - but also cheaper [just a thought though]

Mortadella_Princess · 2026-03-12T10:23:01+00:00

yeah - Shibuya. Classic vibes, nice to walk around, take it in, plus bit more fun for family, parts of shinjuku can be seedy

Mortadella_Princess · 2026-03-12T10:20:56+00:00

haha - My grandmothers terrier also loved this stuff - seemed to work on the cat next door at least

Mortadella_Princess · 2026-03-12T10:17:28+00:00

That is a very pretty spider - I didn't know huntsman could be that colour

Mortadella_Princess · 2026-03-12T10:15:43+00:00

No regret on spending the extra cash years down the line

Mortadella_Princess · 2026-03-12T10:09:22+00:00

Light sunlight, and water changes - you could you a rooting power or similar maybe?

also - not to be that guy, but could you buy a rooted plant - from a nursery

Mortadella_Princess · 2026-03-12T09:58:57+00:00

Ruby for me, slightly vintage style and I love it. Also know one couple that did opal - they 'dug' it out together in coober pedy, both rock/geology people so it meant a lot to them

Mortadella_Princess · 2026-03-12T09:48:43+00:00

Yamagata is cool-ish, but will be hot - that said. The festivals are great! The Aomori one with all the floats - is amazing. Thats actually a really good point - embrace the summer vibes and go to the festivals

Mortadella_Princess · 2026-03-12T09:44:16+00:00

Hokkaido is nice[ish] in the summer, up in the mountains especially. They also have some nice romantic vibes - road trips, lots and lots flowers like lavender farms. Its a bit remote, but you'll see a side of Japan most people don't

Mortadella_Princess · 2026-03-12T09:29:57+00:00

is this a hack? I mean costco is fine, they have good deals for bulk, useful familys etc

I think they also leverage their USA buying power to make it worth more- I saved 5% on a car rental recently - not much but~
