bogman Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Where could I buy plants like some of those; helonias bullata, narthecium ossifragum, polygala lutea, eriocaulon aquaticum, bog orchids (spiranthes, pogonia, calopogon, platanthera...), xyris... I cant understand the fact that those are lovely plants, that people would be willing to buy, but there are no any of them commercially in sale... :S And not to mention that here, in Croatia, I have no access to most of already wide distributed and commercial/well known carnivorous plants like drosera binata, pinguicula grandiflora, even weed like utricularia subulata... :S does anyone know of some online shop where I could find something listed above?

Guest Andreas Eils Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hi bogman, perhaps I can help you. Erich Maier near Münster in Germany sells bog plants. Here are some orchid species for sale you mentioned: http://www.erichmaier.de/s1/index.php?id=moororchideen Unfortunately there isn´t an English version of this site. I have no clue if he sells abroad at all. But as he has no sales terms for international customers I´m not so optimistic. But you can ask him about shipping abroad. Contact form is included on his website as is the email address. Good luck! Andreas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megs Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I have plenty of narthecium ossifragum in my bog. If you have anything to trade with I can send you some. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James O'Neill Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I have a good amount of spare cotton grass (Eriophorum), it always looks nice this time of year with its cottony seed heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogman Posted June 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 hmmm not much to trade for... :/ wouldn't it be easier if you both sell me some? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogman Posted June 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) im interested in both eriophorum and narthecium... I have just some eriophorum angustifolium, and some sedges... nothing really worth of swapping... The plants I have look great, but are pretty easy to get in almost any garden centre... cranberry, typha minima, carex buchanani, juncus, mimulus luteus, bog primrose...
