it;s quit common on asia.For about each year a batch will show up and sold out very quick.
China use tissue culture successfully mass produce these high-end hybrid.An entire industry has been pop up.
Copying the best product from others and lower price by 90%.I wonder if there any copyright issue here....

any way I think your best chance is get someone to buy it over sea and imported for you.
Even better if they are still in TC-jar, no quarantine is needed for sterile TC plant !
From taiwan. hot humid subtropical island.
Pachypodium grow like weed here.
(not really, but u get the idea hot sunny rainy)

Kohinoor asked "I wonder if there any copyright issue here....". Plants can be protected by "Plant Varietal Rights" or "Plant Breeders Rights", the terminology varies with country. If a breeder has obtained such protection he/she can sue any person who infringes it for damages. A classic case was Canna 'Durban'.

The problem is that the PVR/PBR is only valid in those countries where you pay for it to be obtained and maintained, so there will be many countries in which the plants can be propagated and sold without any royalties. An extra problem currently facing British plant breeders is that in the future, the Europe-wide PVR will no longer apply in the UK and they will have to pay to get separate cover in the UK and the EC.
