LOL!!!

Hey Mskitty, There is a website that does sell tacca seeds, but I believe only the white tacca (white bat flower). Her website is
Georgiavines Passion Vines Aristolochia Passiflora Hibiscus Seeds. She's located in Georgia (imagine that) and I've bought lots of seeds from her and had great success. Still waiting on my tacca seeds to germinate.
She sends wonderful e-mails and answers your questions freely! She even made one mistake and VERY QUICKLY fixed it no questions asked. The mistake was that she did send the package of seeds with label and everything, but however they package was empty. I asked her, as a joke, if they were the invisible kind of seeds, she laughed and sent the actual seeds out the next day! There was an extra packet of seeds of the same type (musa) that I hadn't ordered stuck to the back of the empty one I did order, I think the two packets were stuck together and she thought the one I ordered was filled with the seeds. I'll definately be purchasing from her again!
