Mark et al,

I'm interested in ordering some seed from him but am unsure how to go about paying from here.  Given he doesn't appear to have credit card or internet facilities I am assuming that I need to go via an international money order or something like that?

Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers.

Mark,

Thanks for the offer.  In the meantime I have organised through someone else already, the same way.  makes it so much easier.  Thank you VERY much for offering though.
Cheers.

Ooh! Those are stunning portrait shots of Brian's daffs..... yours or Brian's photos, Mark?  They're enough to make me want standard narcissus, by the square yard..... and I don't normally like "the fancy ones"  :-X

Hi Mark,

I bought a few bulbs from Brian as well. Among those that have come above ground are N romieuxii, N cantabricus monophyllus, N bulbocodium var. graellsi and N hedraeanthus. After Christmas the weather turned cold so not much growth to be expected for a while I think.

Mark,

Thanks for providing this access to Brian Duncan's material.  Cantabricus I got from him in September has flowered and set seed already, asturiensis is flowering (and flowering - beautiful!), and all the others have emerged except x allenii.  Most of these, except viridiflorus, have promising buds. 

Several of the various types of seed I got from him have begun to germinate (scaberulus, triandrus concolor and a few more I can't remember without checking ;)).

Years of pleasure to come.
