Does anyone know where I can buy a few Escorbia minima plants? I lost mine among others in this springs rains.

Looking for?
That's a tough one. Try this site:

That's more than I'm willing to pay. Thanks for the link though.
I thought so.
Yeah, those prices are quite out there....
This place lists it, but they are currently not accepting orders:

I found another site, but they were out of stock there, but that was about it (past page 5 on google search results).
If I had known how hard it was to find I might have kept it in a pot! I see that c and d plants is taking orders soon so I'm going to email them. Thanks for the help everyone.

This pic is from 2 years ago. I have no idea where I ordered this plant from but it will be missed.
I can see why you want another. That's beautiful.
Beautiful flowers newstonsthirdlaw.
Uhlig Kakteen (Germany) offers several different sizes.

Shipping from overseas is a lot easier than most people realize. I've ordered from Uhlig several times and have never failed to get the plants promptly.
Is there an issue with customs? Do you need paper work?
I went to the German co. Website but I don't see any indication they ship to the U.S.
There is no issue with customs at all, and I am also in the USA, so they clearly to ship to us. As I said, I have ordered from that nursery - and many others in Germany, England, France, Czech Republic, Sweden, South Africa, etc. with my plant/seeds arriving 100% of the time (Uhlig is the fastest and best communicator though - you can initiate your order over the Internet!).
The only additional cost besides shipping is a Phytosanitary Permit, and depending on the size of your order a CITES permit. Since only one of each permit is needed regardless of the order size, I often go in with several friends so the costs of shipping and permits is almost negligible.
Your shipping to your country is calculated as you check out online.
I sent orders to c&d plants and Mesa gardens. I resent the orders by email twice and neither has responded. Having ordered from both companies several times in the past I'm shocked by lack of a response after so many days.
