I have to defend Penroc. I ordered seeds a couple of years ago, and they arrived in excellent condition. The very rare seeds I ordered came from plants that they (and others) had rescued from destruction due to the construction of a dam. Obviously, I don't know the source of everything they are offering, but it's important to ask. My correspondence with them assured me that they are ethical people.
