Yeah they're kind off hard to come by in the states
I only know of one vendor that has any live ones available & it's S. Debile & I'm sure they're plants from the seeds they were offering for sale

Thinking about ordering some more seeds off Ebay & giving them another try
I soaked the last batch I got in water with smoke paper & all but didn't even get one sprout :-(
 
I've got tons of S.debile.. stuff spreads like a utric on meth. Did you get this from me?

Oh crap. I got a new computer some time ago and never realized that I did not copy my address book properly. My main address book is there but the 2 others, the one with all my CP contacts in is gone. I may be able to re-find this hopefully....
There is a gentleman named Douglas Darnowski, who I had his email address, grew several different varieties of Trigger Plants. He has even written a book on them.

Beautiful photos all around! My S. debile has been growing out of the bottom of the pots, too. This species was made for mass cultivation.

The other species are indeed hard to come by in the US. I had been trying to get my hands on the two S. graminifolium cultivars out of Australia, but no vendors that carry them ship to the US.

I've had trouble getting them to start from seed. I've had a little success with S. graminifolium. The key seems to be fresh seed, smoke treatment, and cold stratification. I've sent a lot of seed to Paul of the Texas Triffid Ranch (http://txtriffidranch.com/) and he has had much better success with starting them from seed than I have, so much so that I have given him the title "Triggerplant Whisperer."

I didn't have much luck with GA-3 treatment, but the seed was more than two years old, so that could have been the reason for my failure. I plan on trying again with fresh seed.
