CLOSED: Four Rare African Seeds

I have the following seeds I just got from a friend who was in South Africa. I found three on a goolgle search and one well I found it but could not read the page. Each packet only has a very few seeds - 2-6 total! Tempt me I only grow things hardy in zone 8a Dallas TX and very very few annuals.

White Bladder Flower Vine - Araujia SericoferaTAKEN
Asclepia Physocarpa - ?TAKEN
Tamarillo tree -Cyphonandra Betacea TAKEN
Balloon Pea, AIDs bush, Cancer Bush - Sutherlandia Frutescens PENDING (This plant is said to be the herbal answer to AIDs and many other ills take it or leave it still a very neat plant) See image below for a view I found on the web of the seed pods on the plant.

Please take a look at my list and see if I can tempt you. You'll need to follow the link at the bottom of my page. It will take you to where I maintain my trading list.

Would you trade the Sutherlandia Frutescens for both my Vigna Caracalla (Corkscrew vine) and Phaseolus Caracalla (Snail vine)?
