Oh cool, yeah if you're sure you don't mind to reship then I'll probably go in for a couple. I'll go check out the site and we'll be in touch. Thanks!

They seem to be the best in terms of selection of rare breeds, pricing and international shipping so far. Most places that carry the nice plumeria have a $500 minimum order . If you happen to find a better place, let me know!

I also like this place: http://www.mauiplumeriagardens.com. This is where I got my cutting but to my knowledge they're not shipping to Canada. I'll look into this as I really like their prices.

I put a call in to Maui Plumeria Gardens to inquire about shipping to Canada as well as the the gov'ment about how to go about acquiring a permit. They'll both be getting back to me in the next day or two.

I wish those were mine. Cousin hybridises them in Indonesia.

Default Driving plants across the border

As a side hobby, I grow Nepenthes (Tropical Pitcher Plants)
http://ocps.proboards.com/index.cgi?...ay&thread=4343

In the above link are some pictures of the plants I bought from the US and drove them across the border. Further down in the thread, there are links and discussions about directive D-08-04 by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

http://www.inspection.gc.ca/english/plaveg/protect/dir/d-08-04e.shtml
which allows hobbyists or homeowners to bring up to 50 houseplants across the border yourself-for your own use to be grown indoors.

If you are interested in this, contact me because I do drive down US side to pickup items on a regular basis from my mailing outlet. I should be going down again within the next couple weeks.

Default Plumeria Cutting - Edmonton

ScubaDive & Chin_Lee

Hi, I am interested in getting few cuttings but I really don't want to spend too much money. Any idea how much it will cost for the cutting and shipping? How soon will I get them?

This was a few months back. We all have our cuttings now and mine are fully rooted, so there aren't any more planned in the near future. It is not the cheapest to get the rare cuttings from the states. With shipping it was about $35 to $50 per cutting. There are plumeria growers in Canada that you can get cuttings for $15 ea plus shipping, but they tend to be of the more common varieties.. for most people that is totally fine. I just wanted more exotic cuttings to add to my collection.

Check with this person to see if they have any more cuttings. If you need help with growing don't be afraid to ask!
