Can I buy an Indian Pipe plant, Monotropa Uniflora, see below for details, to grow in my garden in Oregon?


Question:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/monotropa_u...

Can I buy it online?

Answers:
That's not very likely. The only way to obtain this plant is to take one from the wild, & that cannot always be done legally. Their status varies by region or country. In some places they are banned only from sale but can be legally collected. Since the likelihood of their surviving transplant is extremely slight, collectors are unfortunately after the roots for the herb trade, not for garden cultivation. In areas where they are endangered they completely protected & must never be collected. If there is a legal collector who could provide me with a large living root still packed in a goodly amount of the soil it was found in, I would attempt it in my shade gardens.
