Re: Tasmanian Laurel

Gay: Many thanks for the kind offer - to which a hasty 'Yes, please'!
Snail-mail is: The Brown House, Fleming Place, Maryport, Cumbria CA15
6ES, UK. Is there anything by way of exchange which you're looking for
and haven't found but which I might have or be able to get seed of
over here? Let me know. 

I grow Dicksonias successfully (so far - not to tempt fate) so I'm
encouraged.

Do you know anything about those various coloured forms which I
mentioned? Which colour, incidentally, are the flowers on your own
bushes? White with a pink tinge outside, I imagine? I'm told that the
all-pink form was found in a Tasmanian garden  but I don't have a name
for the garden or its owner. (There's at least one chap in the UK
growing it from a cutting taken from that garden: I'm on the waiting
list for a cutting from the cutting but I reckon my turn will come
about 2010!)

(If you're likely to have LOTS of surplus seed, could I put in a
request for as much of the surplus as you're able to spare? I'm a
member of both the UK Australasian Plant Society and the Half Hardy
Group of the UK Hardy Plant Society [which sounds a bit strange but
you get the general idea: the members are those daft or enthusiastic
enough to take ludicrous risks] and I'm sure the seedlist organisers
of both groups would be delighted to be able to add Tasmanian Laurel
to their lists next year.)
