Dear Roland and all, I can only echo these feelings as an ex national collection holder here... Absolutely no help or usefullness of any kind being a member of that scheme. I prefer to use my time and money visting fellow enthusiasts and exchanging and collecting. At least the NCCPG, or plant heritage as it now is I believe, gives tangible help to it's collectors.
