Can I still post Christmas Amaryllis Bulb abroad post Brexit?

Options
Every year going back decades, I have sent my auntie in Norway an Amarylis bulb (usually from M&S) for Christmas. Does anyone know if I can still do this post-Brexit or is it no longer allowed?

    I think it would fall foul of

    All plants and Parts thereof for cultivation or intended for multiplication and unwashed vegetables with roots must be accompanied by a Health Certificate. The Certificate must, in certain cases, be approved by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority before import customs clearance. A licence must be obtained for the import of certain edible vegetables.

    You might be able to arrange to have one sent to her directly by a supplier with appropriate certificates.

    Norway is not in the EU customs Union so nothing has changed after Brexit.
