| E-Bay, Plant Delights nursery.... There's a few other places I forget at the moment... I've got some seeds if you've something to trade. You'll have to wait several years for a flower, but the price of these things seems to rise exponentially s they grow in size. |

| I gone one recently off e-bay for a really good price, it's sprouting a leaf now! TallyHO! |

| Right now, I have nothing to trade other than a few datura seeds. I'd buy some from you though, if you'd consider it. |

| I don't know if you have many Indian supermarkets in Dallas, but occasionally you can find A. paeonifolius there (it's a food crop in India--has to be prepared properly to mitigate the oxalic acids). Anyway, Indians call it 'elephant yam', 'elephant foot yam', 'cinnamon yam', or 'jangli surian'. |
ps: one more thing
| | |
| PS: One variety they have bred to contain less oxylates for the food crop industry (and this is the variety you are likely to find in a supermarket) is called "Gajendra". |
