Good Morning, I'm writing on behalf of Luminita Vollmer, our Exchange Director, who is currently swamped with donations and preparations for the last exchange of the year. Some of you are not aware or have forgotten that seed and bulbs need to be cleaned, in very good condition, and with a note on the individual species if they need immediate distribution. As always, we'll do our best, but Luminita has a huge amount to deal with this time around due to the immense generosity of members and some non-members. This will be the final distribution until early spring due to winter weather which is already here in some areas of the country. Most northern states have had frost and will be getting snow (fingers crossed) and shipping some seeds and all bulbs can be unsafe. Translated, that means the bulbs will turn to mush! Luminita has already announced that the Request for Donations is over. PLEASE DO NOT SEND any more donations until she notifies us in the spring. Storage capacity is limited. If you have seeds, please clean them and store them properly. A few packets of seed stored in the fridge should not send your partner into a tizzy. Good thing I live with non-humans. Half my fridge is full of seed : )). Please have patience when you place an order. With such a large seed/bulb list, it will take time for Luminita to get everything shipped. If you allow a reasonable length of time and still haven't received your order, then please do let her know. Here's to lots of rain and snow where needed. We do not need another summer of fire. Stay safe, Robin Hansen President, Pacific Bulb Society _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net>
