Trading/Sharing Crinum Pollen

Hi Joe,
Your'e idea is a great one.
I am certainly happy send you pollen from Australia as/and if it becomes
available. I have some Crinum and quite a few Hippies as well as Lilium and
others. The good thing about this is that you can store it away and use it
as you need it.
Lillium pollen stores quite well and there is a Lilium pollen bank in New
Zealand run by their Society and it is shared all over the world.
BTW, I've just joined your new group with no problems.
regards,
Bill Richardson,

Subject: [pbs] Trading/Sharing Crinum Pollen

Hi Gang,

There sure are some clever PBS members out there. Following advice I got,

I

set up an email list at Yahoo.

I did not make the pollen-trading group publicly listed, but once you find
the Web page, I think anyone can join (no approval needed). You can share
the URL with garden friends.

I typed up some quick etiquett notes (guidlines) and anyone can join. The
ideas is that, if you are looking for pollen, or if you have pollen to
share, you post a note to the crinumpollen list.

If you find you can't join, or unjoin, etc., just drop me an email note.
I'll see if I can help, but the idea is that the list should mostly be on
autopilot. Also, the list is not really set up to deal with biology or
garden questions--that is what the PBS is for. There are no pictures or
folders, etc., just a plain vanilla email correspondence list.
