Any ideas as to its identity? someone No, but it's not a good idea to import plant material from other countries without control. I had a look at the DEFRA website and apparently it is legal to import plant material from other countries within the EU (e.g. bulbs, seeds, cuttings). I understand that it is not so much things like cuttings or seeds but soil which is the problem. I once brought a tiny orchid clone back from Singapore in a bottle with a sterile medium, and it had a phytosanitary certificate. I declared it at Heathrow and it caused consternation because nobody at customs was sure what to do with it or me. No-one at customs had ever seen a phytosanitary certificate before, and in the end they decided to let me and my orchid through. someone |
