You should not bring seeds ether.

I wouldn't worry about them unless you have to declare them.....houseplants generally don't carry diseases that are dangerous to farming.

I would not worry about the plants ether but I would worry about you if you git caught bringing them in with out declaring them. that is called
smuggling. your fine if you don't git caught . who is going to take that chance for a houseplant? git new ones here in Mexico there cheaper.

Price, ther is a Mex Agriculture agent stationed at the Mexicali East border crossing - The one I met spoke passable English with my poor spanish.
Stop on your way down next time and see what they have to say about it. I agree with Bruce, if it's a no-no and you get caught it ain't fun.

THANX
Thank you all for the info - you are right - it's not worth the risk ! It is probably better to buy plants raised in Baja - it is going to be our new
home - Baja's economy is now our's -

No, but I am a landscape irrigation specialist ... Sprinkler and drip systems for landscape... Mexitron is a landscaper and Pappy Jon is a plant
expert (I bet there are many more, as well on Nomad).

Palms
I'm a palm expert...Are you refering to Queen palm...Syagrus romanzoffianum?
They can get lethal yellowing desease and depending where you go can suffer from too much heat. Go with Washingtonias or Braheas which are native to
Baja.

Plants
This might sound like a dumb post - but it is worth a shot ! We have very limited garden space so I want to use several potted trees on the balconies
- I want lime - blood orange & palms that will do well inpots - I would also like a climbing vine to cover the brik wall - I want something that
smells good - any suggestions on plants that will thrive in San Felipe ?

Bouglavillia is excelllent for dry conditions, will need a trellis to help it climb. Lime will do well....but get the Mexican varity (smaller
fruit). Blood Orange ...keep it out of the 4 o'clock sun (light is too intense at the late aft for this citrus).

Fragrant vines
Stephanotis florabunda-Madagascar jasmine, star jasmine or jasminium polyanthum are all fragrant.

Baja Spirit
On one only Trip of Many to our Home in Loreto we were at Parrell 28 and had a white Ponsietta taken from us and in our face torn from the Bucket and
put in a trash Can. I assumed the guy was mad about christmas!
Virgina and I started out at Rancho Sonrisa a bare peice of Ceach North Of Loreto, planting more that 250 Palms, Fan and Coco purchase for about $4
each from the good Nursery in La Paz.
I tried several times to transplant "Blue Palms" from Catavania Area with no Success, final smuggled one into the US. grown from a Seed. It is now 6
years old and about 18 Inches.
We had Cocos producing at 6 Years, their trunks at 2 Foot diameter.
I wish you Luck.

I don't have any experience with "Bouglavillia", but Bougainvillea or Bougainvillaea take one Hell of a lot of water to do well.

Don't they allow transportation of plant material into Baja? There is a specie of palm that is so silver called Bismarkia nobilis that develops a
reddish trunk. The palms are phenomenol....But on the other hand so are Brahea armata...I tried to post a pic of Bismarkia but the files are too
large! Way too many cool palms to list not to mention all the different cycads.
Don\'t get mad...
Get EVEN.
