Is there any point me even considering importing seeds from SIGNA this year?
I would have to know that they were going to be viable, before spending the
money, which is comsiderable by the time i pay for an international cheque.
Also, is there only one publication per year from SIGNA? I understood
(perhaps wrongly) that there were 2. I paid membership last Dec, and just
recently received my first magazine.
Cheers, Jan Clark, in Australia, where the TB blooms are still lingering.
