A lot of the tropical plant businesses provide a rental type service. I live right by a garden center and check every week for Madagascar jasmine and haven't seen it in two years of searching. Edmonton is a possibility, however that's an entire day's trip which isn't the most feasible while working full time and taking full time university classes. Green gate advertises a large selection of tropical plants but rarely do have a large stock of tropical plants and ordering in a specific plant has come up fruitless. My best bet would be to try ordering a bare root plant in the spring online if I can find it. Home depot is the same situation, they advertise having it online, but then the local stores don't have it. This is what I've run into is a lot of online websites list Madagascar Jasmine, but then don't actually stock it ever. Plus add in the temperature swings 30° Celsius in the summer, -25° to -30° plus windchill in the winter. Tropical plants aren't a big thing in Calgary and the variety that is typically available is bromeliads, Pothos, schlefera, I think I spelled that wrong, or they are large tropicals that won't fit in the enclosure I have. The carnivorous plants I have had to be shipped in from a supplier in British Columbia. Regrettably what is advertised online doesn't match what is actually available.
