I stumbled across SPCNI's Seed Sale by accident. I wanted to revamp the Aril Society website which was sorely outdated. So my first thought was to go look at all the other iris club websites for ideas. That's when I found it. :-) I'm planning to put ASI's seed sale online in 2013. I really like how SIGNA opens up their seed sale to non-members after a few months. I've tried PCNs several times, but never kept them going more than a year. Maybe someday I'll get a greenhouse and be able to change all of that.....
