We could maybe buy the same plant here or similiar size anyway, there are many sellers in the EU who could get us the same plant, as long as its not too rare. |
I Agree with you Tom, although I'm waiting for DEFRA to give me some info on the the red tape for imports - i.e. cost etc. Do you know what financial implications are involved?

I guess we could have three different 'experiments' going at once, the US/Canada, Australia/Tasmania/NZ, and Europe/England. Each geographical group could pick what orchid they want to grow and get them at the same place. The threads will be open for all to read and learn from, like the 'Epiphyte's Division Thread' is now.
If the three groups chose different orchids we could learn a great deal in a year about how to grow these three types of orchids.

Great minds think alike Connie, I was about to suggest this but see you were already there. Also, as Tom suggests we could probably get the same plant from an EU supplier
