Growing from seed versus importing bulbs from another hemisphere

A long while ago I was a member of an online group that would share recalcitrant seeds.  It was not done centrally, but individually.  I would post that I have seeds and members of the group who wanted some would send me a self-addressed stamped envelope.  I even had U.S. stamps that I could mail to a U.S. donor.

Since so many of the South African Amaryllids flower in the fall and seed set is late fall to winter,  it would probably be best for a volunteer to live where it doesn't get really cold when these seeds are ready to plant. Lee mentioned that Silverhill Seeds in the past used to let people know when recalcitrant seeds were available. With the mail delays I expect that is no longer possible.
