Brian,
Yes, Sharon does her own web site and the most recent update added quite a
bit of info.
I am really surprised that you spoke with Sharon and she told you onco
species were unobtainable. I believe that some of them are unobtainable. I
also know that some of the ones for sale will cause you great disappointment
when you get them home, hopefully grow them to bloom, and discover they are
not what they were purported to be. We have several onco species, although
it is sometimes a real fight to keep them alive.
Congratulations on finding seed that has been unobtainable for 30 years.
You really ought to join the arilrobin and share some of your knowledge and
sources with the wonderful group over there. I know they would be thrilled
to find you have found something lost for so long.

Dana,
Thanx for the info. Someday I'll have my own pics to share with you. Her
web site is great, wonder if she actually did it? I've spoken with this
person on the phone and according to her, 'onco species are simply
unobtainable'. This is absolute and utter nonsense. I've found sources for
seventeen species and actually managed to acquire seven different rhizomes
(iberica elegantissima, iberica iberica, gatesii, sari, kirkwoodii,
paradoxa, and nectarifera) and seed of three species (meda, lycotis, and
urmiensis) which hasn't been available for 30 years. Sometimes being
'pooh-poohed' by someone who supposedly is 'in the know' can be a real
motivator.

Brian,
Are you looking for onco species or onco type arilbreds? Sharon
