Anybody got an umbrella plant ? (Cyperus alternifolius)

I'd like 1 umbrella off one of these to grow a new plant, happy to pay postage costs

I did this quite recently (last autumn) and already it has grown into a plant like the illustration. I upturned the "umbrella" in a jar of water and a couple of weeks later it had roots.

Are you in Dublin? I'd be willing to meet and hand one over

I've a few too.
Was growing in a garden in Portugal and I took a section home. Growing well. Have it split into 4 or 5 now.

Hi
I would very much appreciate a 6 inch sliver or suchlike that I can cultivate.
I love this plant and have been searching for it.
Thank you. I am in Killiney and would travel for it

Looking for one as well. Anyone know where to buy one or anyone has an offshoot?
Dublin or Wicklow area.
