Hello everyone.

My name is Calin. Male. 33 yo.

Not sure if you've had any other Romanian members... well, we are in the SE Europe with a temperate climate - gets freezing cold in winters and quite hot in summers - around 30-35 Celsius.

I am here as I have a passion for plants, especially for exotic plants that no one else has them.

This is quite a challenge since I live in a small apartment with windows facing north I think - so I get some sun mainly in the mornings. Also winters are quite cold and dark - sun sets around 4 pm... and then... u get many hours of dark.

Among my plants... I have a ceiling high dragon fruit plant, well... hasn't flowered yet... and a passion fruit vine, a banana passiflora, two plumerias - about 1-1,5 m high (hasn't flowered either - yet) ... two yellow oleanders (got the big triangle shaped nuts from Indonesia), small desert rose (adenium I think), a queen of the night (epyphyllum oxypetallum - i think, not sure about the "y"s that I hope will bloom one of these summer nights!) and a few others...

I promised myself I would not get more plants - I already have over 30 pots - as it gets hard in winter to provide enough light and proper conditions, in general.

But you know... you see something.. and you always want more.

I saw one post here on bananas about the GREEN JADE VINE... and well... I'd really like to have one. I know I am in Romania and it will be difficult to send me a life plant from someone who lives in a place where it thrives - but a few fresh seeds that I could start to germinate here I think would be perfect.

Right now I don't have much to offer in exchange. But when the summer ends... I will hopefully have some seeds to trade, mainly of garden flower seeds.

Please someone... let me know if you have this... or anything really exotic and that doesnt grow to huge sizes.

Thanks again!

CALIN
