          All you need to post them is wrap them in damp kitchen roll and pop in to a ziplock bag or poly bag works perfect for cuttings and not so expensive to post fo rwieight Joolz.

                      MW nothing wrong with Smarkets fuchsia plugs .

                      But if you want a specie or a special fuchsia you do need to send away for them.

                      Here also a link http://www.thebfs.org.uk/index.asp
