I have been paying attention to this and wondering if any commercial venture will bother to try importing them to the US. Kangaroo Paws grow very well in California but not so much anywhere else in the US. They’re hard to keep going in pots, but love being in the ground in this area. I even toyed with trying to find out if I could buy a wholesale flat of the “plugs” and pay for the outrageous phytosanitary inspection fees that Australia charges. I’ll wait a little longer to see what happens. I saw that there were 4 or so different varieties in the Celebration series that all had spectacular and unusual colors. I wish importing plants and bulbs, and now seeds would stop getting more difficult every year. Had I known back in the ‘90s that this is the way it would become, I could have taken out a huge loan and imported everything available. It was so easy back then.
