Here's some that I couldn't find in the gallery
Acacia Floribunda
Acacia Neurophylla
Acacia Burkittii (aka. Acacia Acuminata subsp. Burkittii)

The last one is of Rivea/Turbina Coryumbosa, I know there was one there but the one I am posting looks more like the Rivea that I've seen, it could just be the lighting of that photo though.

I would like to contribute, a rarety, Sassafras Tzumu. The chinese Sassafras tree is one of only two members to its family, together with the North American ones. Both produce the desired goodies that can be used in root beer 

The seeds are close to perfectly round, have a very dark brown colour and a diameter of approximately 5mm. On the seeds a lengthwise enhancement, going around half the seed, can be found, its hard to see because of the seeds darkness. They require a full stratisfaction cycle to germinate.

Maybe someone can help to ID some seeds wich I believe to be a Phalaris I didnt sow yet... Stupid me forgot to label, I will attach them they are easily told from the seeds described above

I just arrived back from a nice walk and nearly finished with the clean up, and I harvested some Papaver Rhoeas, wich I have been targeting since long. Besides that I have collected some Matricaria chamomilla or German Camomile (I should remember planning on several baggies next time for those species that I didnt have in mind).

So here we go, first Papaver Rhoeas seeds come from seedpods that are about 20mm in length and 10 in width. They are released around the circumfence at the top. Each pod is to contain in between 200 and 5000 seeds wich are sown by wind and the corresponding movement if the pods. They are sowing 4 meters in radius on average. They need light to germinate, can stay dormant for a long time and tolerate poor conditions, drought and loamy soil. Each seed is bean shaped as for the human eye and about 0.5 mm in size, they appear black. All poppies are poisonous.

Secondly the Chamomile seeds are shaped like a predators tooth, with 2 mm in length 1 in diameter and a slight curvature. They are developed in the center of the flowers. They are similarly tolerant and prefer the same conditions as the poppys do - hence I found them in the same place they make nice herbal tea with well known healing properties.

As usual both species are to be given away as long they last.
