inspectors are always intimidated by our small lot seed since most of them are not familiar with anything we are importing.
If we are to assume this logic from the APHIS plant wizards, then any genus which has even just one species on the CITES list would suggest that they may confiscate any other plant from that genus (which is labeled only as sp.).
I was very lucky to be able to get Lilium sherriffiae in the seedlist. I had been looking for this species for my friend Essie Huxley for some time and was very pleased to see it on this years list. I have recieved the seeds and yesterday I took these precious seed over to Essie. She was thrilled to get them and asked me to tell the ones involved how much she appreciates them. She has been seaching for them for many years and at 90+ she didnt think she would ever find them. Here is a photo of her in her garden, holding the seeds, also one with me - I am the fat one. Once again, thanks to all involved for making a wonderful old lady so happy.
