The onion genus Allium, placed in the Amaryllidaceae family, comprises monocotyledonous flowering plants and includes, besides the onion, garlic, chives, scallion, and the leek. Allium species are herbaceous perennials with flowers produced on scapes. They grow from solitary or clustered tunicate bulbs and many have an onion odor and taste. Plants are perennialized by bulbs that reform annually from the base of the old bulb, or are produced on the ends of rhizomes or, in a few species, at the ends of stolons. A small number of species have tuberous roots.           The bulbs' outer coats are commonly brown or grey, with a smooth texture, and are fibrous, or with cellular reticulation. The inner coats of the bulbs are membranous. Allium cernuum commonly known as Nodding Onion or Lady's Leek is a perennial plant in the genus Allium. It grows in dry woods, rock outcroppings, and prairies. Allium cernuum has an unsheathed slender conical bulb which gradually tapers directly into several keeled grass-like leaves that are 2mm to 4mm wide. Each mature bulb bears a single flowering stem, which terminates in a downward nodding umbel of rose coloured flowers. Flowers are bell-shaped, about 5 mm across, pink or white with yellow pollen and yellow anthers. The flowers mature into spherical crested fruits which later split open to reveal the dark shiny seeds. This plant does not have bulblets in the inflorescence. Allium cernuum is edible and has a strong onion flavor, and has often been used in cooking. This species is also cultivated in many places for its attractive flowers.

Diospyros mespiliformis Seeds Diospyros mespiliformis or jakkalsbessie, (also jackalberry and African ebony) is a large deciduous tree found mostly in the savannas of Africa. Jackals are fond of the fruits, hence the common names. Mature trees have dark gray fissured bark. An adult tree reaches an average of 4 to 6 metres in height, though occasionally trees reach 25 metres. The foliage is dense and dark green with elliptical leaves, which are often eaten by grazing animals such as elephants and buffalo. The tree flowers in the rainy season; the flowers are imperfect, with genders on separate trees, and are cream-colored. The female tree bears fruit in the dry season and these are eaten by many wild animals; they are oval-shaped, yellow and about mm in diameter. When the fruits ripen they turn purple. The tree, like Marula, is favoured by the Bantu, who will leave them growing in their cultivated lands in order to harvest the fruit. Jakkalsbessie trees often grow on termite mounds, preferring deep alluvial soils, but not uncommon on the savanna on sandy soils. It grows in mutualism with termites, which aerate the soil for the tree but do not eat the living wood; in turn, the tree provides protection for the termites. Jakkalsbessie is the largest species in this genus in Southern Africa. This species is widespread, north up to the Sahara. It is a member of the family Ebenaceae, together with trees such as true ebony (Diospyros ebenum) and the edible persimmon, (Diospyros kaki). A traditional food plant in Africa, this fruit has potential to improve nutrition, boost food security, foster rural development and support sustainable landcare. The fruit is edible for humans; its flavor has been described as lemon-like, with a chalky consistency. They are sometimes preserved, can be dried and ground into a flour, and are often used for brewing beer and brandy. The leaves, bark and roots of the tree contain tannin, which can be used as a styptic to staunch bleeding. The roots are consumed to purge parasites and is thought to be a remedy for leprosy. The wood of the jakkalsbessie is almost impervious to termite damage. The heart wood is fine-grained and strong, and is often used for making wood floors and furniture. Trunks of the tree are used for canoes. The wood ranges in color from light reddish-brown to a very dark brown.

Passiflora quadrangularis  Seeds Passiflora quadrangularis, also named Passiflora macrocarpa or Giant Granadilla, is a perennial vine, looking much like Passiflora alata, but its flowers are bigger. Native to Central and South America it is grown for its large ornamental fragrant flowers and the large fruits. It climbs by means of clinging tendrils and can be kept as a container plant. The long tendrils need lots of support for climbing. It is a fast growing vine which can grow over 15 meters high. It may be grown as a houseplant in a sunny window. A vigorous tropical vine with large bright green oval leaves, 7-13 cm long, 6-10 cm wide. The stems are quadrangular in shape. One of the loveliest and most exotic of the Passion flowers producing gorgeous purple, white and blue banded fragrant flowers, measuring 8-10 cm across in a long succession from mid-Summer to Autumn. It produces giant green to yellow Passion fruits reaching over one foot in diameter. The pulp is white or greyish and is not as flavourful as the common Passion fruit, but still tasty and often eaten or used in drinks. It rarely produces fruit under greenhouse conditions but makes up for this by the sheer glory of its flowers. Pruning is a must to keep the vine healthy. Prune off less vigorous growth and occasionally prune back vigorous growth to promote flowering. When established, and without care, the passion fruit can easily overtake other garden plants, shading them from sun. Protect from frost or plant in frost free areas. The Giant Granadilla is hardy to 35°F when mature, frost tender when young. Provide ideally a temperature of 15°- 28°C. Keep the atmosphere humid through the summer and place in full sun, can tolerate partial shade. Passiflora quadrangularis loves the warm humid Tropics. You may need to water your plants on a daily basis during the hottest summer months. During the winter the roots should be kept moist, but as growth will be much slower you will probably only need to water once a week, depending on growing temperature. It will do best in a loam based mix with a little peat moss. If their pot is too large or if they have an unrestricted root run then the whole plant will simply get bigger and bigger but it will refuse to flower and therefore produce the fruits. By limiting the pot size you are limiting the ability to grow and this is seen as a threat, so the natural mechanism is to produce seed for the next generation. A suitably sized pot for an adult plant would generally be of 30cm in diameter. The bid amount is for 1 Seed

Stenocereus is an easy to grow genus comprised of predominantly large, shrubby or tree-like columnar cacti. It is widespread from the Southern United States, throughout Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and into Northern South America. The genus name is derived from the Greek word “ stenos ” which means narrow and the Latin word “ cereus ” which means candle. The genus has been enlarged by the addition of species from several other genera.  A close relative is the peculiar chinoa or chende cactus, Polaskia chende. Stenocereus species mostly flower at night and are pollinated by moths and bats. Some species, like Stenocereus martinezii, Stenocereus pruinosus and Stenocereus thurberi bear delicious and refreshingly edible fruit similar to that of the Dragon Fruit Cactus, Hylocereus. They make excellent rockery plants and can also be grown in large pots. Stenocereus species are easy to grow and cold resistant to as low as -4°C, but only for short periods.  Stenocereus pruinosus commonly known as Grey Ghost is native to south and central Mexico where it is a valuable food source. It is a columnar cactus with stems that branch at the base and reach 6 meters in height in the wild. Stenocereus pruinosus usually have only 5 to 7 ribs and the new growth produces a grey powdery bloom and attractive patterns on the stems, hence the common name "Grey Ghost". It produces nocturnal white flowers with a pinkish tinge and like the other Stenocereus species the fruit is spiny till ripe, and edible. The spines fall of the fruits as they ripen.
