Hi! I am from Malaysia.
I require help in getting some seeds and tubers of the Gloriosa Lily and Tacca. They are native plants of Malaysia but could not be found in plant nurseries - probably because no one wants to grow a lily considered as a weed that is poisonous too! The Australian actually went gallivanting in the rainforest, took home Taccas and make huge commercial nurseries! Cultivating methods using seeds take too long, might as well sow zinnias today and it sprouts tomorrow. Digging up the bulbs if found growing somewhere in the rain-forest is another matter. I think the phrase is 'Have trowel, will travel'. I know that India grows loads of this plant for medicinal purposes SO can I have help in procuring these tubers and seeds? Agricultural companies only sell in bulk. I have bought tubers from e-bay and they arrived badly crushed and useless. Seeds ordered were never delivered (got a refund)! I am willing to fork-out the expenses incurred in getting these items; circa 10 bulbs of mixed colours if possible and seeds too. Can PAYPAL be used in India? If not, kindly suggest other methods. I feel that it is important to appreciate native plants, not just imported roses! I hope I can get a response soon because end of the year is a good year for planting as the temperature drops by a few degrees. Thanks for reading.
