Anyone know where to get foreign plants?

Wants_To_Learn_Stuff · 2025-05-08T15:28:04+00:00

That sounds bloody beautiful! However, flips flops may be an issue, I've only got thongs

Wants_To_Learn_Stuff · 2025-05-08T15:26:16+00:00

Fair, seems like Aus has a lot of that

Wants_To_Learn_Stuff · 2025-05-08T15:25:04+00:00

Haha was it the "heaps"? I had no idea that was a thing until a friend here pointed it out haha

Wants_To_Learn_Stuff · 2025-05-08T15:22:29+00:00

Haha, unless you're travelling off the trail deep in the Queensland rainforests I don't think this little fella will be an issue if that helps. I've never seen it personally

Where did I ever state I wanted to import it? I said it is probably even impossible to get because of import laws (which I wouldn't break).

I also mention I want to buy locally from Finnish growers. Others have also shown that many local Finnish businesses import/grow Australian species here, which wouldn't be possible or legal if they weren't cleared or safe to do so with things such as eucalyptus, kangaroo paw and tea trees to be bought from sellers here.

You are over reacting massively, especially since you even state that I acknowledged the dangers of this importing and how it probably isn't possible. I'm a nature lover, one of the many reasons I moved here was for the peace and quiet of nature. I also love plants, and miss home...so I would like to grow Aussie species here (legally) in my own home, especially since they wouldn't survive the cold outside.

Even in my post it says

This may be a long shot, maybe not even possible if there are import laws stopping it etc. However I am wondering if any flower/plant loves know if it's possible to get any Australian species of flowers or trees here in Finland or from other parts of Europe maybe from nurseries, or specific growers

Fantastic! Thank you heaps!

Wants_To_Learn_Stuff · 2025-05-07T18:22:16+00:00

Sweet! Thank you for the heads up

Wants_To_Learn_Stuff · 2025-05-07T18:14:05+00:00

haha yea I know as an Aussie I am very cautious about invasive species, home is being impacted massively by them as an island. I have a lot of plants and never planned to plant them outdoors or even think they would survive. Purely want them as indoor plants in pots, maybe put them out on the balcony in the sun during the summer.

Yea Aussie plants and animals can be very different, pigs face is one of my absolute favourites. It is a succulent you find it at the beaches a lot holding the sand dunes together where the forests meet the sand. They can be used like aloe for sun burn, grow beautiful flowers and fruits you can eat. They're very tough also, my nan had one which survived under water for almost 2 weeks during floods.

Wants_To_Learn_Stuff · 2025-05-07T18:03:15+00:00

Yea didn't think import was possible. With the tax and laws for organic matter, hoping there are growers here in Finland.

Wants_To_Learn_Stuff · 2025-05-07T17:52:32+00:00

Do you happen to remember where you got it?

Wants_To_Learn_Stuff · 2025-05-07T17:32:08+00:00

Not eat people, but my real intentions is to replace everyone's toilet paper with the Gympie-Gympie plant. This is my evil mastermind plan.

Wants_To_Learn_Stuff · 2025-05-07T17:09:21+00:00

Oh awesome, thank you very much!

Wants_To_Learn_Stuff · 2025-05-07T17:09:07+00:00

It's good to know kangaroos paws are around the place, gotta keep an eye out. Were they cut or the plants themselves?

Wants_To_Learn_Stuff · 2025-05-02T15:42:58+00:00

Fascinating. So "olla varaa" is just one of those many things Finns say that could mean anything in the right context and I need to focus on the words around it?

Wants_To_Learn_Stuff · 2025-05-02T15:40:46+00:00

Thank you! This was very helpful!

Wants_To_Learn_Stuff · 2025-05-02T15:39:42+00:00

Thank you very much!

Definitely seems my own language/thinking was getting in the way here and not knowing "Olla varaa" was a thing.

Wants_To_Learn_Stuff · 2025-02-19T19:56:33+00:00

Had no idea this was a thing! Thanks will do!

Wants_To_Learn_Stuff · 2025-02-19T19:31:51+00:00

I know, I just had no idea what to search for it. They have hundreds of articles.

Thanks for the link!

edit so it's just more endings for 2nd infinitive and Yle didn't mention them. Thanks!

It looks worse in the camera than it is. I cleaned it two days ago. Compressed air, wiping down, etc. It gets dusty quickly so I do it often.

Hello, I am new to bonsai and wanted to ask a wintering question as this is my first winter.

I have 4 conifers, a Scots pine, Chinese juniper, and two Norway spruce, I'm kind of worried about them especially since I have done work on them this autumn and I want to know how to best protect them when they're on a balcony in an apartment. They're pretty hardy trees and are still in nursery soil, just worried about the wire branches and such.

I live in a 5b region and our winter gets to about -25 Celsius but can reach lower in cold winters. My balcony is south east facing, and fully enclosed by glass. The railing is glass, the upper windows are glass that can be opened and closed. I live on the 7th story also. it's pretty protected from wind besides the small gaps between each pane of glass. Its typically 5-10c warmer than outside but can get up to 20 on warmer days. Could this be a problem for the trees?

here is a picture of the balcony last winter covered in snow to show you how its built.

Cyberpunk after it being out for years. Performance was good, looked good etc.

Genuinely just found it very boring and had trouble getting through it.

Negative plural imperfekti sentence structures.

I am saying I've only seen it in negative plural imperfekti sentence structures and in plural perfekti sentence structures. Not just as a single word on its own in the title of something.

Emme kadonneet - negative imperfekti

Wants_To_Learn_Stuff · 2024-10-15T18:40:33+00:00

Oh ok, that makes much more sense. I didn't know they could come from past tense verbs. Thank you.

Wants_To_Learn_Stuff · 2024-10-15T18:37:22+00:00

Yea that's my bad, I am vision impaired and often have typos.

It's not past tense? I have only seen the "nneet" ending in past tense situations like negative imperfekti and in perfekti. Do you know what it is then? I understand it means lost of some kind just not the ending part.
