I do hear that from the Canadian folks. There are some US vendors that ship to Canada. Also there are a few Canadian Ebay sellers that offer some nice plants. I don't know what might be available in your area. Too bad Canada is so strict with any importation of plant material. Maybe it's good in a way but makes it difficult for the hobby growers and collectors.

There is a line of gesneriads I love called Peridots from western Canada I believe. They have hybridized some terrific kohlerias and more. This is a sinningia called 'Peridot's Darth Vader'. It has very dark nearly black leaves.
