sourcing unusual galanthus

Hi
Like Jane, I don't collect Galanthus forms, but also have gotten a few. (How
can you pass up a plant with a bit of green at the ends of the outer tepals?)
What I most enjoy is growing /species/ of many genera, especially from seed.
This would include Galanthus, if only seed were available for more of the
species. Perhaps part of the database could list growers that would be willing
to share seed as well, and for the species, with a reasonable assurance of the
seed being true to type. Many other pieces of data pertaining to the plants
could be added, such as its provenance, as well as photos and cultural
information. And it could be web based. Hmmm. It sounds a lot like a Study
Group offshoot of the main PBS wiki, with more detail, and a restricted access.
I'd enjoy working on this project, as I'm immersed in learning web and
database programming, after a 20 year hiatus from that world. It will be a month
or two before I get all the pieces under control for a project like this. But
it would give me something to do in the real world, something I have a great
interest in.
