Correction: Can't send *some* Homerias

I want to correct something I told the list yesterday.  I went back and
checked the federal regulations, and as far as I can tell, only five species
of Homeria/Moraea are actually classified as weeds that can't be imported
into the US: M. collina, flaccida, miniata, ochroleuca, and pallida.

 

The others are apparently legal to import and share across state lines.
That includes two of the prettiest ones, M. comptonii, and M. elegans.  I am
pleased.

 

You can read the regulations here:

Bill Aley, if you're listening I'd appreciate it if you could confirm that
I'm reading the rules right.

 

Sorry for the confusion.

 

Mike
