Did I miss a place in this thread regarding where to find the yellow version in the States?
Thanks for any help.

don't think so... if I recall it correctly I am the only one who has posted about the yellow form...

I only remember talk of the yellow available in Europe from the supplier Ramón found.

Thanks Rosie and Ramon. I love a challenge, there has to be some on this side of the pond somewhere!

I ordered the yellow form aswell today, it's probably going to take a few weeks before i get it.

Paying by bank transfer and then have to wait untill they send it.

You guys are making me awfully jealous.

Hope they do well for both of you and don't forget pictures when the time comes.
Do the yellow ones have the same scent?

I do not know the particular plants from these nursery, however they describe it as strongly coconut scented... besides this nursery, I had seen the yellow version only once in Switzerland, and yes, they were strongly coconut scented....

I forgot to note, we were discussing earlier about where the yellow form originates from;

I asked the vendor and they said the yellow form naturally occurs in their seedlings sometimes and thats how they get it. He told me they have been growing it for decades now.
