Dear members living in the EU,

As there cannot be posted attachments to this list, please refer to the 
forum for the price list

After a successful joint book order from the South African Bulb Company 
and very pleasant and efficient correspondence with the owner, we 
decided to do a joint bulb order as well. You have to be a fully paid 
member to participate, if not yet, you can join the PBS at any time. The 
shipment of the bulbs will go to Martin in Germany via DHL, the cost of 
a phytosanitary certificate, shipment and a customs agent at the point 
of entry in Germany will be divided between the ordering members and a 
final cost of postage to your mailing address will be added, too.

Please read the instructions at the beginning of the price list 
carefully, however, the bureaucratic hassle is taken over by us.

The price list contains many tempting bulbs. Please bear in mind, that 
they come from the Southern Hemisphere with inverted seasons, which 
means that it is autumn/beginning winter in South Africa now. It might 
be a good idea to stick to summer growing plants which will be shipped 
in a dormant state at this time of the year. Some of the winter growers 
may still be dormant, I do not know which ones. There is always a 
certain risk of loss when doing hemisphere swaps and it needs a certain 
experience in growing bulbs to do so. Personally I will stick to summer 
growers or evergreen bulbs.

Please do also bear in mind that flowering size bulbs can be very big 
(Crinum, Brunsvigia, Boophone) and heavy and therefore cause expensive 
postage. We will divide the postage between the members reflecting their 
order.

When ordering: please follow these instructions very carefully:

Deadline for orders is May 20th, but I advise you to order as soon as 
possible. Your order will be immediately sent on to Leigh from the South 
African Bulb Company as bulbs need to be reserved. Which means that you 
cannot change your order after posting it to me. I will confirm the 
reception of your order, if not, please come back to me.

The invoice for the joint order will be sent to me only after the entire 
order is complete. I will forward the expenditure.

Shipment will be in June as a soil test in South Africa has to be 
awaited before shipping. Again, please keep in mind that it might be 
late for winter growing bulbs.

You will receive an invoice with your bulbs.

Please do not hesitate to get back to me, Uli,  if you have questions

Uli and Martin
