LOL.  Valid question.  ASI holds the seed over till the next year.  Aril seeds have amazingly long shelf life.

Some of you lucky devils have heard this before (several times).  So this announcement is for everyone else.

I've updated the Aril Society International website in some pretty big ways.  For example, starting in 2013 the Plant Sale and Seed Sale will have online ordering.

Aril seeds always seem in high demand during the SIGNA Seed Ex and they are among the first items to sell out.  Well the Aril Society also has a seed sale... and in some years their seeds do not sell out.  For example in 2012, there were 9 varieties of Iris stolonifera (OP) that didn't sell out, and there were 3 varieties of Iris hoogiana (OP) that didn't sell out.  All 16 varieties of Oncocyclus species, however, sold out quickly.

Anyway..... if you're not a member of ASI, have a peek at the website.  There's plenty to see & enjoy.  Bookmark it and check back in a few months when the Plant Sale is underway... you might be surprised at what treasures are available!

I'm not sure how people can look at photos on the ASI home page and resist growing these beauties in their own gardens!
