Dear Angela,

How nice! It will probably sound strange to you after all the talk about US
regulations about importation. But I have no paperwork to send. I have only
once had anything seized and that was because they happened to inspect and
find soil. On small packages, they almost never inspect or care about
phytos, import permits, etc. We spend far too much money trying to control
mideast oil to have anything left over for customs inspections - or
education, or healthcare. (Don't get me started!)

Anyway, if you just send seeds in a padded envelope with "horticultural
supplies" on the customs declaration and "NCV", I am certain they will get
through. Bulbs could be a little trickier.

Let me know.
Best wishes,
Dell

Hello from Angela in Western Australia, would like to donate seeds, if you
can send me the paperwork, if it is worthwhile for you, I have many, many,

I will be in South Africa for the Clivia Conference, if it is easier for me
to take seeds to South Africa to give to other members of PBS to bring back,
