    My interest is in tropical plants, including orchids, bromeliads, ceropegias & more recently species impatiens.

    I've recently got the Impatiens bug too. Going to be trying a couple of the "hardy" ones this year hopefully, if the seeds germinate.
    I grew I.balfourii last year which was a bit of a gem...............

    Got plenty of spare seed from that if you're interested.

        I have some interesting Ceropegias.
        Must check if they have survived the winter. And if they have, will be able to send you some cuttings if you are interested.

          Btw, been bidding on some Stanhopeas on Ebay, but they went for more than I wanted to pay, so I stopped.

          Didn't win the Stanhopea on Ebay.
          It went for way more than I thought it was worth.

          unlucky mate, I find the best way to be with ebay is to set a budget & not to bid one single penny higher than your budget allows, its easy to get caught up in it all.
