I recently bought 2 from a collector and they are not cheap. No one in the USA has seen one flower--yet. If your seller is reputavle he/she should be able to tell you whence the seeds came on the Island of Socotra and what year they were collected. Mine came with a "pedigree tag" naming the expedition, the person collectong and the longitude/latitude of the place in the Island there were taken. Very few expeditions are allowed to this island as a rule and then, only certain times of the year. I would be very cautious about even buying seeds and there are sellers on Ebay claoming to have them and I do not believe them. I am attching a picture of my A. socotranum and the info tag that came with it.
