Seed and Bulb Excanges, some Comments

I also am interested in provenance, and always try to keep track of
seed donors and the places wild seeds came from.

Some seed exchanges that used to publish detailed information
(altitude, soil, name of mountain, etc) have stopped doing so. I
think this is because of the danger of endangered plants' locations
becoming known. I disagree with the policy. Seed of endangered
plants should not be offered on seed exchanges, and many plants are
in no danger of being over-collected, so publishing their locale will
not be a problem.
