Hello, I would die for some seeds of Sandersonia aurantiaca. Have been trying to get them for so long now.

SPECIFY THE ITEM NUMBERS. DO NOT SPECIFY QUANTITIES. It is a good idea to INCLUDE YOUR SNAIL MAIL ADDRESS, too, in case I do not already have it. Availability is based on a first come, first served system. When you receive your seeds/bulbs you will find, included with them, a statement of how much money you owe (usually $2.00 ? $5.00 per share of seeds or bulbs + postage and packaging charges), and instructions about how to pay. PAYMENT IS DUE AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE YOUR PACKAGE. > > ? ?

They should be only lightly watered until growth resumes, which could take a couple months.? The "Peridots Sand Pebbles" were in rampant growth & will probably grow vigorously immediately once repotted.? To my knowledge this hybrid never goes dormant (probably inherited from its Sinningia bullata ancestry). > They are all bloom-sized & range from 2 to 6 years old.?
