Dear Lee:

I do do international orders and have shipped to Australia in the past.  
I do not sell seeds.  The problem with Australia is that they require 
imported bulbs to be quarantined at the recipient's expense, and the 
importer needs a special license to bring plant material into 
Australia.  Plus they have a very extensive list of banned bulbs.  Seeds 
can be imported into Australia as long as they are labeled with the 
botanical name and are not on the banned list.

I'm pretty sure some of the other South African seedspeople offer seeds of it from time to time. (I just checked the Silverhill Seeds website and they're currently offering seeds of it right now. Although they state that it is now called Gloriosa modesta.)

(She's in the U.S.) Even if she did, I bet it would be almost impossible to get them into Australia alive. Places I've discovered that sell seeds of several species of Bomarea are rarepalmseeds.com in Germany (they've started offering *lots* of non-palm seeds lately) and taste.ecrater.com in the U.S.
