    Hi All,

    I was wondering if any of you guys can identify this plant for me and tell me if it is on the blacklist or not.

    If not.... Then I would like to put some in my bag and bring back to SA when I return from my trip to the UK.

    Sorry for the bad quality... was taken with my phone.

    Hope you guys can identify...

    Cannot tell you what the plant is but you will need an import permit to bring it back with you.

    And if caught without the permit, you could face jail-time. Rather don't risk it.
    Very nice plants though.

    Yeah, sorry about that.... didn't know that I need to have a permit to do that... was only thinking about 5 stems or so....

    But oh well, now that I know I'll rather not risk it.

    Thanks.

    You could always tell the airport officials that you brought along a baggie of herbal tea :bigsmile:.
