Hello Paul,
You must have read my mind .... from a distance even.... I was getting
ready to write and ask if anyone had seeds they would like to trade with me.
I will take you up on your most thoughtful and generous offer. do not know
how many seeds is in a single packet and what the germination rate would be,
so. I would be interested in a couple of packets each of 'QIS Series' for
the cut flower production aspect, and of 'Sublime Series' for the same
reason. Thank you.
I am getting ready to post the most recently collected seeds from my
Tricyrtis and have seeds from Gentiana saponaria coming on. that will be
about it for this season unless someone sends me seeds I can not use in a
trade. those go to the web site to find homes.
