Seed resources?

9 years ago

Hi. I received a stapelia gigantea as a thank you present and fell in love with it. While researching I learned about huernias and would love to have some of these too. Can you please recommend some seed (or cutting/plant) sources that you have had success with? I am willing to try Ebay again if you have a reliable seller to recommend. Thank you.

Ellie,
Seeds take forever. At least 2 years to flower most more. For my money and time, I purchased most of my collection at 'Miles to Go', most only $4 same as 'Mesa Gardens' with some rare ones there at only $4 each. And 'Bob Smoley' at about $5 each. Most of my collection is not old enought to start cutting up as yet. All sent nicely rooted plants. About 1/2 of them bloomed for me.
