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.
