Hi, I am ELTEL. I live in the UK, in the North Midlands of England. I love tropicals and have a large greenhouse where I try to indulge my interest in plants that would otherwise turn their toes up in this climate. My latest venture is tropical water lilys (I know its crazy, but it might just work). If you can find any of those, or the other plants listed in my WANTED section, I have a fairly comprehensive list of seeds I have available for trade or cash for postage.
