I think the PBS BX is the best seed exchange in operation, bar none. My vote for second place would go the the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Lily Group, which has an incredible offering of accurately named Lilium seed every December but also a respectable list of other seed sent in by members. The group operates the sensible policy of sending the list to donors two weeks before anyone else gets it. Pour encourager les autres...
