Looking for licorice - Glycyrrhiza glabra, dragon fruit-Hylocereus undatus (especially white fleshed, or yellow), and 'ramp' seeds- Allium tricoccum. for SASE or I can do a trade if you are interested in the seeds I have: I've got basil 'lettuce leaf' cucumber- delikatesse (great for cukes and excellent slicer) dill (fernleaf) flax seed morning glories (pink and white coloring)

Hi! I would love to have some dragon fruit seed. The only halfway unusual edible I have to offer is Rat-Tail Radish--it's a radish that doesn't form a root but puts its energy into blooms; the seedpods are used in stirfries for a radish flavor.

where can i get it? I just got mine from logees.com (it's on sale till the end of July, btw!) how big does it get? The catalog claims that it gets big, like 5 feet or so. how long before the cuttings bloom? I've heard it can take 3 or 4 years, but you never know. are they hard to grow? They are supposed to be 'easy', so I'll probably kill it. Summer is supposed to be the 'rainy season' for them, so I have been giving mine water. You are supposed to restrict water during winter and give it cooler temperatures. I am going to plant it in some light soil with bark in it, since they are epiphyliums (sp?) and I think that means they grow on trees, like mistletoe. They bud on new growth, and need cool night time temps to bloom in the summer nights. This is all what I have read, not from personal experience, fyi. whats its harddiness. I forget, I think it's like zone 8. They do need a 'cold spell' during winter in order to bloom, as well as dry conditions. hope this helps! :) I was happy with the cutting I got from logees, but you might want to try the plant and seed exchange forum.

That looks like Deamia (Selenicereus) testudo - same sort of tropical vining cactus but doesn't produce (IMO) as desirable a fruit. I don't know the specific problems you're having, but they're usually traced back to undesirable soil - as long as what you've repotted it in is porous, and the plant remains solid, I wouldn't worry about it. Some corking, particularly on the base on older plants, is normal and should be expected.
