No,I'm not offering any,sorry.I know I'd jump on that too!!What I want to know is if you knew somebody in Hawaii,and they were willing to send you seeds,what seeds would you ask for?My son is based in Hawaii,and I've been pestering him to send me seeds (or plants),but he's asking me for names of plants and I don't really know.Except for pulmaria(spelling?)and bird of paridise I can't really think of names.Any suggestions?
Seeds from Hawaii
GINGERS
Pink plumeria and Clivia
OK ,but I have 3 gingers 3 plumeria(no idea of the color) and some cliva I started from seed(only 1 year old)Anything else?

CC ... in the orient, as well as other polynesian influence country, woman never wear perfume. instead they wear Fresh flowers. almost every backyard grow their own flowering plant or tree. being a sucker for fragrance, here are some of my favorite flowers:
joy perfume tree [Michelia champaca [alba]
http://mgonline.com/michele.html
Common Name: ILANG-ILANG TREE Scientific Name: CANGANGA ODORADA http://www.dipolog.org/Flowers.htm http://www.floridagardener.com/pom/cananga.htm
jasmine sambac http://www.desert-tropicals.com/Plants/Oleaceae/Jasminum_sambac.html
btw... these flowers are also the source or the base of most of the scentilating perfumes in the western world... ma vie
Hawaiian baby woodrose
Tuberose
Hawaiin woodrose too, with yellow morning glory type flowers! Tha baby are different colors!
Well - after looking at the links provided by MaVie, I want both the ylan ylang plant and the Joy perfume tree. I wear Joy perfume, I think it would be fun to have the plant that produces the essential ingredient.
How can we get these plants? any one ever grow them?
DIDN'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO GO WITH THIS. READ ABOUT WISTERIA PROBLEM, ME TOO! IV'E TRIED ABOUT SIX YEARS WITH MINE, STILL NO BLOOMS.IV'E TRANSPLANTED IT THREE TIMES WAITING TO SEE IN BETWEEN, IF IT WOULD BLOOM. SOMEONE SUGGESTED IT WAS PROBABLY A MALE PLANT, I GUESS SO. I JUST DON'T TRY WITH IT ANY MORE. EVENTUALLY, I'LL GET ANOTHER ONE. IT WILL CERTAINLY BE WORTH TRYING AGAIN. THE SCENT IS HEAVENLY!
