A word of warning about the Bulbs of the Mediterranean. The AGS have dropped the offer on it, so now it will cost you £37 pounds or so for it rather than the £31 50 as it is in the AGS News.

 I hope  this at  least that may mean that those of us who have ordered it might be getting it delivered soon!

I hope you don't have to wait too long, Yann - the overseas ones were posted first, we  were told.

Not the best period to ship overseas, postal traffic is congested.

I think you mean AGS log in, Anthony !  The office is closed for a fortnight now,  over Christmas and the New Year.   Employees tend to like  holidays off - the office being closed gives Diane C. and her seed team a bit of  a break too!  (Except  if I know Diane , she will have plenty to do at home for  USA members' permits etc! )

Flora of the Silk Road........in case you missed out first time round fresh stock appeared at AGS Pershore last week. That should put a stop to some of the silly prices I've seen around :)
