Re Cyndi's query about the legality of sending seeds abroad: I second
Rob Carl on this. As I understood the recent discussion on Alpine-L,
when various people panicked because the RHS suddenly said that
overseas members couldn't have their seed allocations, it was
eventually mutually and amicably agreed - between the Customs
authorities, the RHS and the apoplectic overseas membership - that the
RHS had wildly over-reacted and that, various exceptional cases left
out of account, sending seed at least from US to UK and from the UK to
the US was perfectly ok. Certainly I regularly send seed to and
receive seed from the US/Australia/NZ and both I and my overseas
correspondents play fair, fill in our Customs slips saying that the
contents is "Packetted Seed With No Commercial Value," and everything
gets through fine. So I do think this is one issue we don't need to
lose too much sleep over. Not at the moment, at least...
Mea culpa, Michael, if it was me with the specie/species snarl-up (I'm
too embarrassed to look!): sometimes the hand is faster than the
brain. No, make that 'mostly.'
