Seeds available for Forum posters

[Lesley Cox]

I have been sent a LARGE parcel of bulb seeds, from Marcus Harvey in Tasmania. There's far too much for me to use and I'd like to share them with Forum posters. The list follows. Anyone interested please send me a personal message with your postal address. The seeds are collected in the wild in Greece and the Greek Islands, May/June this year. There should be enough for about 6 people for each of 24 species.

      corsicum
      cupanii - Poros
      macrophyllum - Rhodos
      variegatum

I'm not sure of Marcus' spelling for some of these place names. He writes in a hurry.

In case anyone is wondering where their packet of seeds is, I haven't sent them yet. I got so tied up with Christmas and the pre-Christmas markets which my job entails, meetings and heaps of other stuff that I just didn't get time to send them. In any case they may be safer after the rush of mail at this time, and the post offices around the world closed for days at a time.

They are all packeted up and I'll get them posted probably Dec 30th, 24 packs in all!

Happy New Year to everyone.
