Its Lucerne which in your country is called alfalfa. Its not the least

it does have similar leaves, but the pods are not
at all the same (the pods of alfalfa curl and are
very tiny in comparison).


Yes, I just read the other response and that has me very excited. I need
some of that plant. Wonder why it's got the 'australis' on the end of a
native American plant?


Jeff got that point covered... grows mostly in the SE
US...


Anyhow, the pic sure does look like lucerne and isnce I encourage any
lucerne I can get to sprout because I like it so much, I'm going to now
have
to find the American native look alike.


we usually have tons of seeds and sprouts.
if you were localish i could at least send bunches
to ya... grr! may be able to find it at
a more local plant supplier/florists or they can
get it for you through their channels.


Thank you for your kind offer - it can sometimes be a right pain in the rear
area not being able to import seeds freely, but then I also understand why
our quarantine laws are so tough.

I've managed to find a few places online that have seed so now I know that I
can get it here in Oz. Yippee!
