Dear All: I have bought from Chiltern Seed for years, and will probably continue to do so. I have one or two warnings, however. They do sell old seed, and with Amaryllids this can be a problem. I have a little trick to overcome this. I buy the rare or expensive seeds when they are listed in the back in the "Stop Press" section. That means they have only just got them, and I have never been disappointed with those seeds. I have always received my orders from the Archibalds, also. However, I have had some failures with their seed also, even Calochortus seed which keeps extremely well. I don't think non-germination is a reason never to buy from a source, especially if that source, like the Archibalds, offers things that can't be obtained elsewhere. It's always a risk, but often one that is worth taking. Dating the collections, like Ron Ratko does, is becoming very unusual. The Archibalds used to do it, but stopped a few years ago, probably because knowledgeable people wouldn't buy the old seed. I have had misidentified species from Chilterns and also from B&T World Seed, although for the most part I have been satisfied. It is almost certainly a problem with their suppliers. Another bulb source that I have bought from (although not recently) is M&C Willets in California. I don't have the address. PLEASE don't e-mail me for the addresses. All of my old seed lists are packed away in a storage locker and are totally inaccessible!! I hope someone else has them handy. I have bought only a few things but I was more than satisfied with the quality and maturity of the bulbs I ordered. Diana Telos Rare Bulbs
