Any help much appreciated

Well done you Rupert! Since 7/11, my son who lives in the USA has not been
allowed to send any plant material to me here in the UK. However, he IS
allowed to send me seeds, the envelopes containing them have been
sometimes opened and inspected during transit.

I think he can send you plant material if he gets the right bits of paper
but that will cost around 100 pounds (roughly 50 USA 50UK). Surprised that
he is allowed to send seeds without some kind of certification.
