| Can anyone give me advice on the best way to send Gloriosa Lily tubers to Canada? I'm sending seeds to someone from Costa Rica that's visiting Canada. I figure tubers would flower sooner than seeds so if it's not too expensive or difficult, I would like to include a few tubers. Will they survive in a ziplock bag packed in a padded envelope with the seeds? Should I find a small box or container that would protect it further in the envelope? Or, is a box (no envelope) the only way to go?
Thanks, |

| The tubers stand a good chance of being smushed in a padded envelope. I would def say (1st choice)box, no envelope. You could try the(2nd choice) box in the envelope and see how it looks. I think a ziplock would create too much moisture. |

| Coffeemom, Thanks for the response. I think I'll experiment with storage at home before actually sending. I've got plenty of spare tubers. Steve |

| I better add to check the postage. I know if you send it priority, the box is free. The envelope may be charged as a flat or a parcel. I don't know the restrictions so it's best to check...no surprises |
