Hi, I've been compiling a list of African (and Madagascar) species of Crinum. It is possible there are over 70. I've primarily relied upon the work of Les Hannibal and David Lehmiller. I cannot say for sure that the list is accurate in the sense it includes all Crinum species of Africa, or that it does not have errors or duplicates. I'm writing to know if any of you can refer me to sources of seed for these species. I have some contacts, and (of course) try to buy what I can from Silverhill seeds. Nonetheless, I have many dozens of species to go and many more subspecies and varieties as well. Let me know if you know of sources of the following; seeds are appreciated because I suppose I will have the years and because I'm unwilling to buy them all as bulbs.
