Hello Bob, Thank you for your comments. The only legal way to send seed to the European Union or the UK is to accompany it with a phytosanitary certificate. Apart from the time and effort required to fulfill the requirements of such a permit the sheer cost is probably a limiting factor: 70$ for 7 packets of seed. Your point of taking but not giving back is quite important. This is the reason US members cannot order from the MGF seed fund. It is not large enough to remain sustainable if that would happen. That also underlines the generosity of the owner of Château Pérouse who is not receiving but still allowing access to the seed fund by the SX manager in the US. Bye for now Uli _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net https://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> PBS Forum https://…
