Habranthus seed from the BX

Was informed by MAF that evidently the seed I ordered was not allowed,
but was given several options.

First of all I decided it was no good getting all hot under the collar
about it. So I contacted EPA which is the department responsible for
deciding what is and what is not allowed.

And joy of joys, after several helpful emails, the woman found one of
them was already in New Zealand so will be added to the Biosecurity Index.

She found that in one of the gardening books, so went to some trouble to
find it for me.

I now have ordered 6 books of New Zealand bulbs from the library and
will then order more to see what there is in them as far as Habranthus
and Zephyranthes are concerned.

It made my day.
