Dear members living in the EU, The EU Seed and Bulb Exchange is now open for donations. As usual we will do two rounds, the first one is mainly for seed which is less prone to cold damage in the mail. But depending on where you live and depending how urgently some bulbs must be planted...., you can also send bulbs. The second round will be distributed about 4 weeks after the first one. That is for the more fragile items. Donations can be sent to Martin from now on until further notice. You will be updated through the same channels. All EU members should receive a personal email, if not, please come back to Uli. Please send only clean, healthy and pest free material, labelled with the scientific name and your name so that each item can be assigned to the donor. To reduce Martin's workload, we would appreciate if you could pre-pack your seed donation. Bulbs do not need to be pre-packed and should come in one single bag for each species. For seed 5 portions of the same seed which are enough to produce a reasonable potful of seedlings, with very rare seed a portion can go down to 3-5 seeds. As usual, this is entirely voluntary and free seed envelopes can be requested from Martin. If the seed is plentiful, you can add an extra, larger portion for Martin to pack in case of more than 5 people ordering it. As a donor you will get a bonus which covers the cost of postage. This bonus can be used for your own orders or for membership payments. The full instructions for the EU Seed and Bulb Exchange of the Pacific Bulb Society can be found on the website under Bulb Exchanges. The most important points to participate: You must have a postal address in one of the EU countries and you must be a fully paid member. You do /not/ need to be a donor to be entitled to order from the exchanges Please send you donations to: Martin Bohnet Ludwigstr. 1 73035 Goeppingen Germany <garak@code-garak.de> Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me (Uli) in case of questions: johannes-ulrich-urban@t-online.de You have been very generous in the past with your donations, thank you very much for this!
