That's sad. What was the reason for refusal?
Could you recommend a reliable seed seller from USA (my interest is mainly in tropical fragrant plants/trees) who can mail seeds directly to Pk?
Few years ago I had purchased seeds from Banana Seeds Inc , but not even a single seed germinated :-(. At one instance the seeds package was never received, (a friend had sent them from USA). Next time I requested a registered mail to Pk...this time we got the package with 0% germination.

The German vendor looks very promising with an excellent collection of tropicals...thanks. I guess you edited the original link :-). Has anyone tried Sunshine seeds?

Farooq I may not be able give you any information regarding USA but AY Kan sb would be in a better position to guide you, I can guide you for UK trade and being a tuber lover all of my experience is related to bulb traders and so far Thompson&Morgan and Van Meuwen are the best and they are sister companies, though they are a bit expensive but their bulbs are top class and I always wait for the right time and bought in offers sometimes even for a penny, Anglia Bulb Company and Peter Nyssen are also good with Dutch bulbs it was my first experience I thought they are one of the big sellers in UK also has couple of sites to deal in wholesale and retail both but quality was disappointing.
Regarding seeds so far I only tried Thompson and Morgan
