In 1973 I brought back some bulbs from the Azores, I think they are locally
known as Bella Donna. I planted them against a south facing wall and in 1976
they flowered, remember 1976! Since then nothing except lots of lush green
growth every year even though I moved them to a greenhouse 20 years ago.
When I see them struggling every year I wish I could find someone to take
them back to the Azores, perhaps there is some message here.

As I understand it, you are not allowed to bring plants and seeds into
this
country from abroad. Is this a total ban? Are there any 'loop holes' or
'blind eye' opportunities to bring a 'memento' or two of a cruise in?
