Re: Updated seed lists

I hope that the MSG will once more have a seed list in 2020. I small team of members is working on it and will try to develop new procedures to make the task less time-consuming.

I'm sure the list will be updated further over the next few months, and perhaps the website will be further developed too. It leaves a little bit to be desired in user friendliness.

It's a super site for info as you say. I have had seed from them recently - but the hidden costs for the UK buyer sit in the exorbitant US international postal rates and the postal insurance - for my tiny order it doubled the initial cost of the seeds. But then the list from which I bought, was the Feb 2019 list (AKA the 2018 list before price rises)Astro wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2019 8:03 pm MG has been adding to their list, but in a very piecemeal fashion. They also seem to be hiking prices (yet again) by about 30% overall. Maybe they're using eBay prices as a reference? Anyway, they're still one of the cheaper places for cactus and mesemb seeds (at least in the US) and with a huge catalog (assuming they get around to listing it all).
It's not so straightforward to figure out what they offer since the web site changes since many details are hidden away. I went and compiled the old lists (1999-2017) earlier this year so I could figure out what I wanted and then trawl the website. It doesn't account for new additions, but it definitely helped things go more smoothly.
I put up the list for people who are interested (almost 13000 entries...):

Lots of field number location data to be mined, too, if anyone is so inclined (although it's an indirect source at best).
