Importing from Kenya

I import so many plants with great success... but somehow, African countries (specifically Kenya) has been a real pain!!! This particular nursery is sending some really poor quality stuff. Twice, my orders have been sent back due to disease/pests. The importer has been delaying any replacements for them too!

Thank goodness I quarantine all my imports.

Fair warning - Avoid nurseries in Kenya at least!

Delonix Pumila

I'm really excited to see mature leaves on these beauties. I really wanted a huge, mature trunk... but these were already hard to find!

Erythrophysa Transvaalensis

Thank goodness I didn't toss the floating seeds! This particular one (marked with "F") actually sprouted!!! There's another that hasn't done anything, but hoping!

The back two were sinkers and sprouted quickly.

I think I'll name this small one "Wilbur". 😆
