Donation for the EU-BX now open Reception for seeds and bulbs for the new EU-BX for countries of the European Union is open now. All seeds and bulbs of plants with a storage organ (bulbs, corms, tubers, rhizomes) are welcome. Please find the full information for donors on our website, https://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/bxeu.html Please read the instructions carefully and please be aware that this new EU-BX is only accessible for members with a postal address in the EU (and the UK for this year). The address for your donations is Martin Bohnet Ludwigstr. 1 73035 Göppingen Germany His email address: garak@code-garak.de Please remember to_*only send clean and healthy material*_, nobody wants to spread new pests and it is not Martin‘s job to clean the donations Can we ask you for a tremendous favour? /On a volunteer basis, of course/. The workload for packing the donations into many small packets is enormous, for seeds in particular. If you feel able to do so, would you consider pre-packing and labeling your donations? We suggest portions of 10-15 seeds per item if you have plenty, between 5-10 seeds of the not so plenty, for the very rare ones maybe 2 per pack but not less than 3 items. If the overall number is too small, it will cause more frustration than pleasure within the membership as experienced several times in the past. Please send your seed in one envelope for each variety if you feel overwhelmed by this question. COVID is causing delays in international mail, so please send your donation in time. We will open the donation for a longer time than usual for this reason. Closure will be announced one week in advance. Please do not hesitate to contact Uli Urban (johannes-ulrich-urban@t-online.de) our EU board member if you have any questions. We thank you very much in advance!
