  1. Are these potentially for sale anywhere? I would LOVE to purchase the nightblooming "Mae Ploi" - simply gorgeous! Congrats to Janjungerm.

  2. 'Wanvisa' is now available for sale exclusively through the IWGS. You can find more information at iwgs.org. I am not sure if 'Mae Ploi' is currently available for sale, but will check into that for you.

  3. I am told that 'Mae Ploi' is not currently available in the U.S. Often it takes hybridizers a few years to build up their stock before offering a winning plant to the public, so stay tuned.

  4. I am not optimistic if 'Mae Ploi' is currently readily available for sale
    When we play the WOW, we need to try get the WOW Gold Cheap,thst's to say, spend less money, do we have any good way to Buy WOW Gold from trust friends or some way else? When we have that we can play the game becomes more quickly and update the levels more easy.
