Salam,

I am growing various kind of plants,outside, and under a cold greenhouse.I like very much Cucurbits and solanaceous plants, especialy,Datura,Solanum, physalis.
I grow various ornamentals climber especialy Ipomoea species.I have also an interest about aromatic plants like basil,salvia,phlomis...

I can post a list of seed species which are available on trade in a further mail if you want.

There is a medicinal plant which I am particularly interesting in is Ferula (like a giant carrot whith aromatic root).It is know in Pakistan under the local name "Hing".
Any speciesof resinous Ferula interesting me,especialy Ferula sumbu ]which is occured in Tadjikistan and Afghanistan and may be grow in North-west area of Pakistan (Islamabad and Peshawar).
If there is member which can provide me somes fresh seeds or who know a possible seed source,I am intersting.

Thanks a lot.

Waa la kum asSalam,

Hing, Asafoetida, Gum of the Stink Sand. Flatulence ans spasmodic contraction of stomach. Never went looking for its plant. Has to be investigated but raw product Hing is available.

Datura Arborea. Bougamancia Candida. Cannot concentrate thought, brain floats in thousands of problems. This grows all around Pindi/Islamabad but never had any ideas at all to go near it. Ok, i can put on thick rubber gloves and check this plant. Wait for a few days the rains have not started as yet.It is a poison are you sure there are no import restrictions?

Solanum. Thats a broad based genric name any thing in particular. Going by Datura then you must be after the Deadly Night Shade? Belladona?

Physalis again Solanum family.

Are you by any chance collecting all the virulent poisons?

Ask around maybe some one else may be willing to send it at a premium.
Regards.
