Gollum Posted December 19, 2005 Can anyone give me some info on import regulations for seeds and plants into Oz. I am interested in purchasing some Lophophora williamsii seeds off a seller in the U.K. and im wondering if i am going to have problems with customs. Has anyone bought Lophophora seeds from outside Australia before and had problems? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I beleive they are an illegal import, no need to import as there is plenty of seed available within australia. Shaman Australis, Earthalchemy and Arizona Cactus garden all stock lophophora seeds.

Gollum Posted December 19, 2005 Thanks Jack, I have purchased seeds within Oz before but i am looking at buying some in bulk. Say 100 seeds or so. I want to try my luck at germinating them myself then grafting onto a Pereskiopsis but want to allow for some mortalities as i have never raised them from seed before. There is a seller in the U.K that wants to sell 100 seeds all Lophophora, but there are mixed and many different varieties, some that i have not even heard of before. He is asking 9 pounds for the lot and i thought that it was a good price. Know anywhere i can buy in bulk in Oz? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndyAmine. Posted December 19, 2005 and AFAIK they sell 100's for $30 so its about the same price plus you dont have to fork out for the international postage etc or risk legal worries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teonanacatl Posted January 21, 2006 trichs are ok lophs are nono brings up an interesting point, loph seeds named as trichs may get in i dont know. also 100 seeds isnt bulk and could easily be send in envelope stealth style. i do think that compared to other seeds lophs are highly priced, they are in high demand. im all for buying from australian vendors but when buying in bulk (1000's of seeds) its just not economical, im happy to pay a few extra bucks but when you can get double the quantity i go overseas, increases gene pool anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
