HI Folks,
can anyone give me some advice on where I might be able to source either cuttings or seeds of any Asclepiads? I have recently got into Huernia and stapeliads and loving it. echidnopsis & caralluma too.


cheers

Jim

Ebay and Oztion ususally has someone selling them. Markets are good places to look, I got a nice large one from Mt Gambier market for $4.00 and it was in flower.

me too. markets, way to go
i have about 6 or 7 different ones if want trade, i can get pix

Thanks guys,

I was hoping there was somewhere that specialized in Asclepiads but it seems (in
Australia
anyway) you just have to keep looking! I have been very lucky since
I started collecting and have a decent collection of species. Although
won't really be happy until they survive winter.

Don't think that there are any nurseries specializing in them here in Oz, at least not now that Tarrington Exotics (Rudolf Schulz) has closed up shop, as he used to have a fair few interesting ones..
But a lot of us are growing his stuff and other ascleps though, so they're definitely around. Allowed seed is occasionally available from OS via the usual sources or through joining the IAS.
