The list of available seeds and bulbs is available now. Please read the instructions at the start of the list if you wish to make a request to Jon Evans.
The following description was taken from the original announcement.
Once again, members have expressed interest in running an exchange for summer-growing bulbs and ephemeral (short-lived) seed. We are planning to run the exchange on the same timing as last year, as some of the seeds spoiled by being kept too long. Material should be sent out mid-November, so it can be planted and started into growth in a timely fashion.
This exchange is intended primarily for fleshy Amaryllid seeds (e.g. Amaryllis, Brunsvigia, Crinum, Hessea, Nerine, Strumaria), or any other bulbous seeds which need to be sown fresh.
The normal problem with this exchange is that the demand vastly outstrips supply, particularly for Strumaria and Hessea seed, but the growers are still keen to distribute these species in cultivation as far as possible. So please donate anything you can.
Please note that although we call it an exchange, if you don’t yourself have material to offer, you will still be able to request seeds or bulbs from the list in exchange for a suitable donation to cover at least the cost of postage and packing.
Please include a list of your donations, if possible containing the following information. If you can send the list by email that would be brilliant.
I will send out a list of the items received or promised on or around 3rd November, with a week or 10 days for people to make requests.
I hope you find this exercise valuable and perhaps obtain some new plants. Of course, its success depends on the generous efforts of the donors, so please check whether you have some spares you can donate.
Best wishes
Jon Evans
