Re: SV: Seed to the seed exchange from Europe

 

Ken.  I have that copy.  I bought a big box of SIGNA bulletins on an auction a while back.  It appears to be a huge job.  But it also is a huge help to people who want to grow iris species, preserve iris species in cultivation, and to breed the lesser known iris groups.  In other words, the job needs to be done!
I have benifitted from the seed sales in the past.  I feel I should do my part to make it continue.  I want to keep it going for selfish reasons also.

Hi Walter,
Rodney forwarded your message to me, as SIGNA pres.  I donât know how much you know about all this, but we thought we had found a new seed ex chair; that person appears to have chickened out and has not communicated with any of us since June.  If you are really prepared to take this on, it would be a great relief and a great help to SIGNA.  Iâm attaching a copy of a back issue of the SIGNA bulletin in which the former seed exchange chairs talk about what is involved.  Please look it over, and let us know if you truly think you can take this on.

If things are where the seed exchange might be canceled this year, I'd be willing to do it for a while (few years).
I used to be a professional plant breeder, and was president of the Central Prairie Seed
Exchange for a few years, 2 years grad school in genetics, recently "retired" (or became a full-time plant breeder again, but not paid).
Forward this to whoever would decides these things.
