Lazy and badly sick Admin would like an ID for this. Nearly 36 hours in a single bed and isolated room (hi Sdravko!), studying Swedish.

That was just a little line while I was in the mood

It meant "How are you my friends?"

Thanks for the ID....

Habitat agricultural soil (Dingli area) while getting back Foxy to our home. Date 2-5 days from the post-date unless stated otherwise. I sent 2 detailed pics (plant and flower close up), so I believed it was enough for such a common, yet confusing plant (for me).

Next time you should ask me to post the smell too

and the taste and symptomps( if still able to type). did not ask for smell since you ill and smell/taste is a very individual thing. after all, you did not like the taste of Schinus.

I tasted Schinus molle not S. terebinthifolius. At first I liked the taste but after I got that sour thing - maybe the fruit was not very ripe!?

fruit has to be ripe (at least i never tasted the unripe) and molle is the hot variety. but if you like hot food you should try ripe, dry fruits befor they hang too long on the tree.

Finally I tasted Schinus terebinthifolius and we liked it. I encouraged the sceptical watchman of San Anton and he did not complain. So far 2 hours passed and still OK

now you can save a lot of money on presents for Finnland. the best thing is, you remove the seeds from Malta and in Finnland they are not invasive.

Better not to mess with Finland's environment - laws are strict, officers disciplinate (please, tears or wine bottles would not work) if I am found guilty of importing something that I should not!
