The "new" RHS site  has many drawbacks - not the least of which is the fact that a  search of the RHS Plantfinder gives many results which are just confirmations of a name, and not a list of suppliers  :(    However, there are suppliers listed for various Raoulia  in the results -

Dear Maggi,

I don't know how to do this, but the plants I want are from Aberconwy nursery and they do not ship plants ore have a e-mail........
So I have a problem   :o
Is it maybe possible that some one else send plants to Holland. I know that lots of people take a visit to this nursery, I pay offcorse all costs including
shipping. But who will be so kind??

Lets keep up the good work and lets help each other!

I do hope someone will either be able to collect plants from Aberconwy  for you, or perhaps collect a delivery for you from one of the many shows  Aberconwy attends, and send them on to you.

I wish I was able to attend the nursery myself! And sadly I am seldom at one of those shows....  :'(

Hello Peter, I could send you cutting material of Raoulia loganii if it would be of use to you? It's not so hard from cuttings and would probably be best after our currently warm weather has cooled and you are perhaps entering spring. If this is of any use send me a PM with your postal address.

Yes, Lesley!
That would be very nice......
I can pay for the cuttings and shipping or you can have plants from mine collection.
Ore both. I am very glad with your offer!

 ;)

I send you a PM with my adres
