BX directions or address?

Dell spiked my interest when he mentioned that years ago someone donated
seed of Hipp.angustifolium to the APLS SX. I was one who received seed of
this magnificent Hippeastrum. Most of the seed germinated and for two, maybe
three seasons they thrived in their community pot.
But the season that I was counting on potting the individual plants up, the
community pot was stolen. I used to encourage anyone to come in and see what
I had and if I had something they liked and I had some to spare I would
either sell or swap.
I'm a little more discriminaating now as to who I allow to visit.
The person who has them now would be the only person in Australia who has. I
hope they enjoy them.

Dear Dennis, Susan, and all,

"BX" stands for "bulb exchange," but we distribute seeds, corms,
rhizomes, bulbils etc. as well, and do not limit ourselves to geophytes.
If
you have materials (such as passiflora) that grow in your gardens and you
think that others in the PBS might like to try them, by all means, send
them
to us for distribution. If you have doubts about their suitability, email
me
and ask. I am not the Great Arbiter, but I do have some idea about what
members like. Also, if you have been looking for a particular plant, post
a
note on the discussion forum and see if anyone has it to donate or trade.
(Please do not post commercial advertisements.)
As Lee said, there must be someone out there who is growing rare and
unusual plants that many of us have been looking for. For instance,years
ago, someone donated seed of Hippeastrum angustifolium to one of the seed
exchanges. Alas, it has never been heard of since, and it is one of the
rarer and more gorgeous Hipp species. I know that a number of us would
love
to try our hands at growing this beauty.
If you would like to donate seeds or bulbs/corms to the PBS,(Members
will receive credit on the BX for the cost of postage for their
donations.)
please send CLEAN, clearly labeled material to:

Dell Sherk
6832 Phillips Mill Rd.
New Hope, PA, 18938
USA

Go team PBS! Rah, rah, rah!

Dell

Dell Sherk, Director, PBS BX

Could someone please post the address for the BX ? Do I send them
directly
to Dell or do they get sent somewhere else? I have some wild-collected
Manfreda seeds from Mexico that I would like to donate.
