fall flowering Amaryllid seed

I hope that the PBS board will reconsider a way to offer the seed of
fall flowering Amaryllids from South Africa that have recalcitrant
fleshy seed that shouldn't wait for a spring BX. There must be a number
of us who would contribute. Since I don't want  to grow more and hate to
see seed that someone else might want be thrown away I am offering some
of mine that I recently harvested. This seed is only available to people
living in the United States and it probably should be people who aren't
living where it is really cold since I don't know how much protection
the US postal service would provide.  Requests should be sent privately.
Email me at mailto:msittner@mcn.org and include your address.

I don't have a lot of seeds since the seed is from individual pots so if
I get a lot of requests I might have to use a lottery (however, it
wouldn't hurt to explain why if you request seed, you should get it as
that could influence me.) I have seed of Nerine sarniensis (I think it
is from the ones with the attached photos, but I didn't  hand pollinate
them and more than one was in flower), Strumaria discifera ssp.
bulbifera (just a few seeds), and Hessea mathewsii. The last one is
classified as Critically Endangered (CR) on the South African Red List,
but isn't hard to grow. A couple of the flowers this year had more than
six tepals like the one in the photo.
