Both my main and surplus orders arrived today. My first seedex but thrilled that I got all but 4 of my first choices for the main order. Very many thanks to all the donors and the volunteers involved. Hopefully I’ll be able to donate something myself next year.

Darn it, I am still waiting. Perhaps my seeds are at the APHIS inspection station in San Francisco. We don't have a regular postman, and, its someone new each day, for the last two years.

I think the single member who received seed in the USA was a fluke and somehow slipped between the system. Since Carolyn said on 23 Jan:
The orders for the USA will be posted later - there is all the paperwork to do for those first.
and the American poster said he received his seed on 28 Jan, five days is pretty incredulous. I wonder if he or she received the NARGS seed instead o the SRGC.
I won't expect mine here in Minnesota (USA) for another week or two at the earliest.

I think you are right, Rick - and in fact the North American member reporting the arrival of SRGC seeds was in Canada!

I'm still waiting in Portland, Oregon and stalking the mail carrier for SRGC and AGS seed. I was a donor (SRGC not for AGS) as was a friend in the area who has received his. The big but in this is that Seattle APHIS confiscated fourteen! packets of seed because they supposedly had an "unknown fungus" on them. The confiscated seeds included such gems as tecophilia, anemonopsis, Cyclamen rhodium, lilies along with others. This does not bode well for me. I just hope my inspector is well fed, caffeinated and in a good mood when he does my seed.
I'd like to know if other US inspection stations are as ruthless. I may need to change my inspection station.

The other day I had a card through my letterbox saying I had a package but there was extra to pay. I was scratching my head a bit as I wasn't expecting anything. It turned out to be a colossal envelope full of surplus seed from the seedex - a very nice surprise and I think there are far more than I ordered
- now I have to work out where on earth I am going to fit the pots to house this little lot!
