link to Dr. Berkutenko's seed list for 2006. He has
an interesting selection. Have you or others
successfully received seed from him, and does the
seed have good viability?

Hello,

I have order twice in the past. The first year I had
about 20% of what I bought germinate. Mostly some
Thalictrum and a Sanguisorba. None of the Cimicifuga,
Schisandra, or Actinidia ever showed after four years.
I dumped the pots this spring. The second year I
ordered I bought about another 30 packets of seed.
Only 3 seeds of Adonis germinated. I had ordered about
30 packets of seed. All the Polygonatum, Smilacina,
Arisaema, and Schisandra came as uncleaned fruits.
Maybe things have gotten better, but I have not
bothered the past 3 years.

All the best,

Aaron Floden
