Lesley, given they allowed these seeds in under, for example Scilla greilhuberi can't one just explain that the name has changed but the plants haven't suddenly become kiwi eating triffids? ???

That's what we'll have to do. But also have to supply taxonomic references to prove it.

That's a possibility too Cohan but pesky to have to ask suppliers to add old names to their packets as well as the new.

a drag either way :(
here i can bring most kinds of seeds in freely, but rarely consider plants or bulbs since cost of phytos and cites where applicable make the cost high, and most vendors dont ship here anyway, or have minimums of $100 or more (rare exceptions)..would be ok at commercial level (and garden centres are full of mass produced commercial stuff from u.s. and holland), but at personal level, too expensive, usually....
