John, I can drive up tomorrow if that suits. I'll take them with the 
understanding that I'll be distributing some of them to members of our rock 
garden group. 

Let me know,

Jim

Hi,



I’ve been doing some sorting out in my greenhouses and have about 25
Cyclamen graecum (ssp. graecum, ssp. graecum f. album, anatolicum and
candicum) in 7-10” pots that I want to give away.  They are great mature
plants but I don’t have the room to keep everything I’ve ever selected and
potting up last year’s selections has pushed these into retirement.  Anyone
who can stop by our house/garden is welcome to them all.  You have to take
them all though – no cherry-picking.



Not exactly bulbous but in a fit of enthusiasm I sowed a ton of seed of
Rhodea japonica from variegated selections a couple of years ago.  Over 100
progeny are now in individual 3 ½” pots and although there’s not a hint of
variegation in sight there is interesting variation in leaf
form/length/width.  Anyone want them?  I’ll plant a few but the rest are
taking up space that won’t be available in a couple of weeks.  If the
variegation shows up in the third season then you will make out like a
bandit!



Thanks,



J.
