Can anyone tell me- is it possible to import plants from the USA (or other
non EEC country)?

I'd like to order some begonias that I can't find on sale anywhere in the UK
and I wonder if legally I can do this, or if there are restrictions that ,ake
this impossible.

Given the posts of others (and similar on this side of the Pond), it's
likely to be expensive and tedious. Might it be possible to find a
nursery/garden center that already imported plants, and make a special
request?
