    The browny grey (small) seed could be Canarina canariensis if my memory serves me correctly:)

    I also think that I can see some very small seed - it would be nice if they were Isoplexis!

    Hey 12/12 ... are these the seeds that you want to hide behind the black mesh on the trellis on your balcony? ;)

    It takes at least seven years for a Strelizia reginea (Bird of Paradise) to bloom and even longer for the Canary Palm to show its face ... so, sunshine, don't think these will cover your balcony quickly ... :rolleyespink:

          Especially keeping the smell maybe (if we're on the right track) from the rather near neighbours!

          Theres a reason I need the garden closed off to the outside world but I cant say why as its not legal in the uk and I dont want this thread getting locked,post by 12/12,not copied right sorry.

          Does this not suggest i think you need help obscuring your non illegal activities in YOUR country ? :dunno:

          Im not discussing my, legal in my country, growing. All I mentioned was I needed to close off my garden to prying nosey neghbours compleatly. Im also planning on setting up a nursery from my garden and would prefer it if it was kept safe as apposed to people being able to hop the wall n take my stuff. Ive also had my house robbed from the garden so the extra security is also ideal.

            It did seem a tad odd in thinking you wanted to disguise something that was legal to grow there,so i do appologise if i got the wrong idea :redface:

            I certainly don't like nosey neighbours and fortunately don't have any.

            But sunshine, you have very little space to call a 'garden' and I am trying my best to tell you how to make your small space a secure and secluded space for your requirements.

            You take care of that lovely Peachy babe, she's adorable ... xx :cat-kittyandsmiley:


            PS I don't go for the bit about robbery, didn't see much 'stuff' on your patio ... get a Rottweiller ... :loll: ... that is a joke ... xx
