| Can anyone give me sources for any of the following plants please, preferably southern Queensland, but mail order would be fine elsewhere.
1. Furcraea foetida ‘Mediopicta’
2. Tacca leontopetaloides
3. Red-stemmed Canna (Thalia) |

Pam The thalia is available at waterlily acres at Canungra They have a web site (waterlily acres) do mail order and have it in 3 sizes, tube size is $5. It seems that this place is for sale though due to illhealth so dont dally about ordering.
Alternately I have seeds on my red thalia as a back up (- just not sure how to tell if they are ripe |

Chardy
The outer covering holding the seed will die off when the seeds are ripe. |

| Thanks for that Chardy - will look into it. |

| Liatris, I have seen Furcraea foetida 'Mediopicta' for sale at Canelands Nursery at Hervey Bay some time ago. Don't know if they still have any but I know they weren't cheap.
I just recently (2 weeks ago) disposed of my last spare Furcraea to a friend of mine here in Bundy but if I see any around this area I will let you know. Andrew. |

| Have found furcraea, at a considerably better price than I was expecting (will still have to save up though lol) and have gotten the red-stemmed canna on Ebay and I finally found the Carphalea I've been trying to get for the past 18 months. One very happy gardener here! :) |
