Pinus banksiana  Bonsai Seeds Pinus banksiana commonly known as Jack Pine is an eastern North American pine. Its native range in Canada is east of the Rocky Mountains from the Mackenzie River in the Northwest Territories to Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, and the north-central and northeast of the United States from Minnesota to Maine, with the southernmost part of the range just into northwest Indiana and northwest Pennsylvania. It is also known as grey pine and scrub pine. Pinus banksiana ranges from 9–22 m in height. Some jack pines are shrub-sized, due to poor growing conditions. They do not usually grow perfectly straight, resulting in an irregular shape similar to pitch pine (Pinus rigida). This pine often forms pure stands on sandy or rocky soil. It is fire-adapted to stand-replacing fires; with the cones remaining closed for many years, until a forest fire kills the mature trees and opens the cones, reseeding the burnt ground. The leaves are in fascicles of two, needle-like, twisted, slightly yellowish-green, and 2–4 cm long. Jack Pine cones are usually 5 cm and curved at the tip. The cones are 3–5 cm long, the scales with a small, fragile prickle that usually wear off before maturity, leaving the cones smooth. Unusually for a pine, the cones normally point forward along the branch, sometimes curling around it. That is an easy way to tell it apart from the similar lodge pole pine in more western areas of North America. The cones on mature trees are serotinous. They open when exposed to intense heat, greater than or equal to 50°C. The typical case is in a fire; however cones on the lower branches can open when temperatures reach 27°C due to the heat being reflected off the ground. Additionally, when temperatures reach −46°C, the cones will open, due to the nature of the resin. On offer is a pack of 10 Seeds

Pterygodium catholicum  Seeds Pterygodium is a small African genus, represented by 19 orchid species  in southern Africa and one in Tanzania. The plants are slender herbs with small to medium-sized flowers, and are often hard to recognize as orchids. They are found in a variety of different habitats, ranging from fynbos and bushveld to grassland. Some species are very common and easy to find, but others are known only from one or few sites and are rare even there. Most grow in small to large colonies. A mass display of P. acutifolium with hundreds or thousands of plants can often be seen in mountain marshes after fire, and P. alatum is normally found in dense clusters of countless individuals. Some species are known for their rather unpleasant odour, which can be quite strong. Pollination is by oil-collecting bees. Flowering occurs in spring or summer, with some species flowering mainly after fire. The plants grow terrestrially and have underground root tubers. Most species are less than 50 cm tall, but P. magnum has erect stems of up to 1.5 m length and is thus our tallest orchid. Leaves are lanceolate (lance-shaped) and borne all along the stem; they vary in number from one to many. Inflorescences are terminal and are laxly or densely one- to many-flowered. The small or medium-sized flowers are borne on unbranched spikes, with their colour ranging from yellow to green and white, and sometimes with a purple or maroon flush. While flowers of most species are resupinate (lip facing down), there are also two species with non-resupinate flowers. Flowers are generally open and cup-like which is an important difference to the otherwise very similar aclosely related genus Corycium. The small and normally narrow lip is linear to deltate and has an elongate appendage. In structure the column is very complicated, with the two anther thecae (pollen sacs) separated and situated on the corners of an elongate horseshoe-shaped connecting part, and the two stigma pads on the median carpel. Growing orchids from seed is a fairly specialized undertaking and it requires a bit of understanding of tissue culture techniques.

Ferocactus is a genus of large barrel-shaped cacti, mostly with large spines and small flowers. There are about 30 species included in the genus. This member of the Cactaceae family is found in the south-western United States and north-western Mexico. The young specimens are columnar but as they grow older ribs form and they take on a barrel form. Most of the species are solitary but some, such as Ferocactus robustus and Ferocactus glaucescens, form clumps. The typical habitat is hot and very arid, and the plants have adapted to exploit water movement to concentrate their biomass in areas where water is likely to be present.           Like Sclerocactus, Ferocactus typically grow in areas where water flows irregularly or depressions where water can accumulate for short periods of time. They are most often found growing along arroyos (washes) where their seeds have been subjected to scarification due to water movement, but they oddly also tend to grow along ridges in spots where depressions have formed and can hold water for some period of time. Ferocactus have very shallow root systems and are easily uprooted during flash floods. The "fishhook" spines and the armoured web of spines enclosing the cactus body in many species of this genus are adaptations which allow the plant to move to more favourable locations. In cultivation Ferocactus require full sun, little water, and good drainage. They are popular as indoor houseplants providing they receive a few hours of sunlight a day. They are well suited for growing in pots and rockeries. Propagation is usually from seeds as most do not produce off-sets. Ferocactus stainessii commonly known as Mexican Fire Barrel Cactus or just Fire Barrel is widespread in north-central Mexico’s Nuevo Leon, San Luis Potosi, Coahuila and Zacatecas regions. For this very reason it is somewhat variable in appearance, depending on its locality. Ferocactus stainessii is a simple or clumping barrel/columnar cactus with thick red spines. Most plants have bright red spines with bristle like, white radials—a wonderful contrast, but in some populations the white bristles are occasionally absent.

Ficus is a pan-tropical genus of about 850 species of woody trees, shrubs, vines, epiphytes and hemiepiphytes in the family Moraceae. Ficus occupies a wide variety of ecological niches; most are evergreen, but some deciduous species are endemic to areas outside of the tropics and to higher elevations. Fig species are characterized by their unique inflorescence and distinctive pollination syndrome, which utilizes wasp species belonging to the Agaonidae family for pollination. The fruit of most species are edible though they are usually of only local economic importance or eaten as bushfood. However, they are extremely important food resources for wildlife. Figs are also of considerable cultural importance throughout the tropics, both as objects of worship and for their many practical uses.            Ficus sur commonly known as Broom Cluster Fig, Bush Fig, Cape Fig, Cape Wild Fig, Fire Sticks, Kooman, Kooman Fig, Malabar Tree or Wild Fig in English and Besembosvy, Besemtrosvy, Besem-trosvy, Bosvy, Bosvyboom, Bosvyeboom, Grootvy, Koeman, Komaan, Suurvy, Wildevy, Wildevyboom or Wildevyeboom in Afrikaans is an evergreen tree indigenous to South Africa with a provincial distribution which extends to Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Western Cape. The relatively large edible figs of the broom cluster fig are produced around September and ripen around December and are readily eaten by local people when they turn pinkish and soft. Fig jam (or preserve) can also be made from the fruits. Local people claim that the fruits which form on the roots are the sweetest. The wood is used as a base by bushmen as part of the equipment necessary when igniting fire by friction. In modern times this tree is used most extensively as a shade tree. It makes a very attractive bonsai. It is believed to have magical powers and is used in many rituals by local people.

Virgilia divaricata 15 seeds "Blossom tree" Gardeners need not hesitate on the choice of tree if the keurboom/blossom tree is on the list; it is a beautiful tree, suitable for both the domestic garden and big landscapes. It is fast-growing, beautiful in flower and has an attractive growth form. Very fast-growing when young, attaining up to 1.3 m. in a year, and reaching their full height in only a few years. V. divaricata rarely exceeds 10 m in height. V. divaricata has pinkish mauve to violet-pink flowers and the keel has dark purple tips. The flowers are produced in profusion in spring to early summer. The flowers are rich in nectar and attract many insects and birds, such as sunbirds, carpenter bees, honey bees and ants. Also, many birds such as doves and white-eyes nest in them. Butterflies use them as a larval food. Virgilia is propagated from seed. The seed coat is hard and requires some stimulation to initiate germination. Seeds can be soaked in hot water before sowing, or the seed coat can be cracked artificially. They also respond to stimulation by fire and can be treated with smoke primer. Sow in autumn or spring.

Satyrium foliosum Seeds   Satyrium is widespread in temperate and montane Africa, and two species are to be found in Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Burma). The genus comprises about 90 species of orchids, of which 37 are found in South Africa. With their small non-resupinate flowers (lip facing up) Satyrium species do not really look 'orchid-like'. The African species of the genus grow in fynbos, grassland and miombo woodland, and can sometimes be found in extensive and dense colonies of thousands of individuals, particularly in the year after a veld fire. Most species are pollinated by moths which are attracted by the evening-scented flowers, but pollination by carrion flies and bees also occurs in the genus. Carrion fly-pollinated Satyrium flowers emit an unpleasant carrion-like odour. Flies, apparently hoping to find a dead animal to lay their eggs in, are attracted by these flowers and pollinate them. An exciting find was the recent discovery that three South African Satyrium species are pollinated by sunbirds. Satyrium foliosum is a South African endemic species from the Western Cape Province where it can be found growing on Table Mountain, Hottentots Holland Mountains and Kogelberg. It is normally found growing in black peaty soil at elevations of 900-1300 m. Growing orchids from seed is a fairly specialized undertaking and it requires a bit of understanding of tissue culture techniques.

The branches are open and spreading, giving a carefree appearance to the shrub, and are covered in early summer with slender-stalked flower heads of showy white bracts, which later produce strawberry-like fruits in a good year. The foliage catches fire in autumn, turning rich bronze, orange and crimson. The Chinese Dogwood is a beautiful shrub that grows slowly at first, but eventually needs plenty of room.

Satyrium longicauda var longicauda Seeds   Satyrium is widespread in temperate and montane Africa, and two species are to be found in Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Burma). The genus comprises about 90 species of orchids, of which 37 are found in South Africa. With their small non-resupinate flowers (lip facing up) Satyrium species do not really look 'orchid-like'. The African species of the genus grow in fynbos, grassland and miombo woodland, and can sometimes be found in extensive and dense colonies of thousands of individuals, particularly in the year after a veld fire. Most species are pollinated by moths which are attracted by the evening-scented flowers, but pollination by carrion flies and bees also occurs in the genus. Carrion fly-pollinated Satyrium flowers emit an unpleasant carrion-like odour. Flies, apparently hoping to find a dead animal to lay their eggs in, are attracted by these flowers and pollinate them. An exciting find was the recent discovery that three South African Satyrium species are pollinated by sunbirds. Satyrium longicauda var longicauda commonly known as Blushing Bride Satyrium, Langsterttrewwa or Long-tailed Trewwa is a South African indigenous species from the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Western Cape Provinces where it can be found growing from Plettenberg Bay to tropical Africa. It is normally encountered in Albany Thicket, Fynbos and Savanna. It grows to 40 cm tall. This summer rainfall species has white or pink sweetly scented flowers during summer. The tuberous roots are edible and also used as love charms. Growing orchids from seed is a fairly specialized undertaking and it requires a bit of understanding of tissue culture techniques. If you have never grown orchids from seed we recommend that before attempting this you should first contact your local Orchid Society, or purchase a book on the subject, or both!
