Nice !
Only question now is who's going across the border. We have time to get some this year and I might have a source that has decent sized plants. If we hurry up we can do this.

I would love to try my luck with them in the greenhouse, i have a few Antplants doing well and a few more on the way. Plus I grow 100's of other plants many of which are seed grown.

I'd like try to get some into tissue culture and spread them around.

It would be interesting if the cross border shopping would work out. If someone is able to go they should be reimbursed for travel expenses such as gas/meals (buffalo wings?) to make it fair.

I drive to Chicago about twice a year to see my daughter.
I'd be willing to go to Buffalo one weekend. I could mail stuff to our US members from there, too. What are the rules on taking house plants from Canada to the US?

Super simple, get a phyto and you're good. No CITES I stuff allowed. If you're lucky they won't charge you otherwise it's about 75 bucks for the paperwork. You'll have to bring the plants to CFIA for inspection.

What are the rules on taking house plants from Canada to the US? If you go to Chicago Hal you only about 2 hours from me. Depending on your route and where you cross you could indeed drive right past me

I was in Chicago around last may, the border was quite lenient IMO.

If they're shipping the Oma ya out when they're back in Canada, maybe you and I could split shipping costs Mishaal. And then one of us can just pick out plants up from either persons house.
