Jane that is a very good idea. Being another Australian member I have avidly responded to many BX offerings, but have only ever been lucky enough or quick enough to secure one. I am quite happy that it would equalise opportunities for members in other locations to participate.

However, since I live in the U.S., I have always felt bad that maybe I got to have more than my fair share of the ?good? seeds. If I hadn?t gotten lucky enough to have gotten the really cool seeds long ago and thereby been able to grow some really wonderful species early on, I might not have continued with the hobby. So I think it would be wonderful to maybe now and then reserve a few of the really cool species seeds to send to beginners, newbies, those who haven?t made the lottery for them, and let them get some now and then. I really wouldn?t mind missing out from time to time if I knew someone else newer to the h > obby got a chance to grow them.

Being an acquisitive and competitive person, I've never given a lot of thought to the plight of those who rarely enjoy success. I see the seed exchange primarily as a fund raising function of the PBS and order shamelessly.?Yet I do know what it's like to be on the outside looking in with regard to acquiring rare and much desired plants,? and I think it's important to get plants into the hands of young or newbie growers, if only so that they can soon share their successes with them in the seed and bulb exchanges and thus keep the plants well dispersed in cultivation.?We gardeners tend to be a generous group and there might be a simple way to help this to happen, a way which has not yet been mentioned in these discussions. Every BX lists the names of the donors. If you have been disappointed in your bids to the BX, why not try contacting the donor directly? I've had such > direct requests in the past and was glad to be able to honor them.? I'll bet most of our donor members would be willing to do that, too. Or, if you did not get something you think you can't live without, why not post a message to the group to see if anyone who was successful might be willing to share. I'll bet someone would.? Among the other advantages of doing things these ways is that it makes no more work for the seed exchange chair - no fussing with lotteries or the like.?Jim McKenney > Jim McKenney > > > > > > ------------------------------ > > Message: 3 > Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2019 18:44:20 -0700 > From: Jane McGary <janemcgary@earthlink.net> > To: pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net > Subject: Re: [pbs] Seed/bulb box > Message-ID: <dc49ad51-a922-17cf-3aae-396435c1cc5c@earthlink.net> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed > > We hope everyone will be glad to hear that a new procedure will be > instituted for the BX/SX to prevent all the best items going to the > quickest to order. > > Orders will be accepted for 3 days from the time the offering is posted. > At the end of that period, priority will be assigned through a random > drawing.
