Hi Joe, Your'e idea is a great one. I am certainly happy send you pollen from Australia as/and if it becomes available. I have some Crinum and quite a few Hippies as well as Lilium and others. The good thing about this is that you can store it away and use it as you need it. Lillium pollen stores quite well and there is a Lilium pollen bank in New Zealand run by their Society and it is shared all over the world. BTW, I've just joined your new group with no problems. regards, Bill Richardson, Ixia King Winter -2c. to 15C.. at present West Gippsland, Victoria, Australia ixia@dcsi.net.au Ixia Website: http://www.angelfire.com/ri/ixia/ "Almost any garden, if you see it at just the right moment, can be confused with Paradise" Henry Mitchell ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Shaw" <jshaw@opuntiads.com> To: <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> Sent: Saturday, August 19, 2006 8:48 AM Subject: [pbs] Trading/Sharing Crinum Pollen > Hi Gang, > > There sure are some clever PBS members out there.
