Hi,
I am interested in growing Aristolochia (I have read that 2 different varieties attract some rare butterflies). I read on your web site in the past about the ‘Tagar’ (sp?) variety and saw a note about contacting the National Parks Board about seed. Today, I checked your website and found no reference to this. I also contact the NPB and they said they don’t provide seeds to the public.
I have found a couple of different types of aristolochia but I am not sure if they are the desired (by butterflies) type. Would appreciate some assistance as I have a good place for growing and am keen to get started.
Regards,
Scott
