Thanks, Bernhard. I can set up a watch on that seller.

Little if any living plant material can be (legally) brought into the

U.S. without some sort of permit now. (There may still be a category

which allows someone to personally carry 12 or fewer plants which have

no restrictions back into the country without any permit or paperwork.

But no one should take my vague memory as fact without checking!) But

the small seed lot permit can be obtained entirely online now and is

fairly simple, if you can find sellers who will work with you.

Steve,

at ebay France there  is an aroider who sells seeds every autumn.
I bought some seeds in 2018; 10/10 germinated...

No idea, if seeds can be imported into the US without restrictions;

for Germany there are none for small amounts of seeds (let alone CITES

spec.)

Happy growing, Bernhard.

Long ago I decided to risk a small tuber of Synandrospadix, an offset

from a larger plant, outdoors here one winter (NW Arkansas, zone 6).

In the spring the original plant began to leaf out in the greenhouse,

but there was no sign of the one outdoors.

After several weeks, with foliage on the one in the greenhouse well

developed, I couldn't stand it any longer and dug down to check on

the one outside. The tuber was firm and intact, but no sign that it

had broken dormancy. Unfortunately, I damaged the growing point

during the health check, and it never formed another and died, so

results inconclusive - did it die from shovel blight, or was it never

going to break dormancy anyway?

The original plant never made another offset - Wilbert warned me that

only young plants of that species do - and it seems not to be

self-fertile so I've never gotten seeds. I need to get a second

plant, but it doesn't seem to be offered often, plus I'd like to get

one with provenance from somewhere that gets some cold.
