Hi Orpheos,
if you have patience I can send you seed of Calostemma purpureum (see reply #102: http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=6624.90 (http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=6624.90)) - I haven't had C. luteum flower yet.

Hi Orpheos,
Source in Europe of Calostemma purpureum = Paul Christian, Wrexham.
No other australian bulbs (but quite a lot of ground orchids)
