Holy Mackerel

Post by Pup »

This is a Lilly Pilly that I covet. It belongs to a mate he has said I can have the other one but I want this one. Here are some pics. What one would you want. I might try to tempt him with a Melaleuca!!.

There's no doubt over which is the more desireable tree Pup. Let me know his address and I'll send the boys round to point out the error of his decision. :lol:

I vaguely remember you posting this Pup and forgot to say much as Anja Oh My Gosh! What a stomper. I would love to get my hands on this in November ;)
Did you manage to do the switcheroo!
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.
