I really appreciate you fishing that list out, it's interesting to hear what semps they found desirable and otherwise inaccessible in Europe. Some of those plants I haven't heard of, but some are extremely common here. Emerald empress, Red Rubin, Silver King, and topaz can be found on lots of websites and nursery shelves. Hard to believe those ones hadn't made it over the lake yet, but I guess without a project like this how would they. As big as some of our plant distributers are there must not be any that are international. The toughest part of importing plants is getting someone on the other side to do the legwork in getting the necessary certifications. Without major business incentives arrangements like this between collectors are probably the most effective way to bridge the gaps. I'll have to go look up some of those semps I'm not familiar with now!
