Hi all!

I've been looking desperately to find paph seed to sow, but I can't find anywhere that sells them. The OSP doesn't have any, and can't send paph seeds to the UK anyway. :confused:

If anyone knows of a good source, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks for your help.

Why can't seeds be sent to the UK? I thought it was perfectly legal. Am I wrong?

I don't know. It seems perfectly reasonable to me, since it's not like they're going to spread across the countryside here considering our climate, but the OSP website said that they can't post paph seeds outside the USA. Go figure. :confused:

What about your local Orchid Society? I'm sure you could get more info or even share seeds with fellow local orchid society members.

I know people send all sorts of plant seeds to people overseas through regular mail all the time. What should be so different with orchid seeds?

Did you ask your local orchid sellers or vendors if they have any seeds available?
