I had the same with these two. The Neowerdermannia chilensis I have hardly seen being offered anywhere, so for the connoisseur I can imagine this would be an interesting species.
I have noticed that the bulbs seem to be popular this year. I am the type of sower that prefers to order multiple portions of a species I am interested in. If I have to sow, I might as well sow a pot full instead of just a few seeds in one pot. I hardly get refused multiple portions for my seed orders anywhere, but this time I only got 1 portion for all the bulbs I requested (and none for the B. torta). Was quite surprising.

It has been offered before - I bought some in 2018 and have two little seedlings.

I bought some in 2018 and have one seedling - I think only 1 or 2 ever germinated. N. vorverkii did much better.
I ordered in mid December in 2018, so that year the species hadn't sold out instantly, or else he managed to restock.
Despite these being unavailable, I should
receive 49 other stock numbers.
Their turnaround time was less than 4 days.
They could hardly be more responsive! I also
like the fact that they notify you when the
order has shipped (within a relatively short
time since the order was confirmed), and
they include a tracking number!
Something for my order for next year then, I guess. Too bad, as it was actually looking forward to this one based on the picture ADBLPS also provides (and is quite a help, really!)
I also ordered some seeds from ADBLPS this year. Some seeds sold out too fast like previous years. This year i was two days late to order the seeds so a few species i couldnt manage to get.
The trick is, prepare your list before the update date, generally his list is the same with previous years, only a few differences each year, some seeds are in some seeds are out.
Right after the list is released, send your list to him so you wont miss any seeds that you would like to buy.
Generally Aymeric responses emails fast, but it takes some days to response in the days after he updates his seed list. I can imagine how many emails he recieves in these days.
Have anyone heard back from SuccSeed after ordering this year?
I ordered some seeds on 8 October. But besides the automatic system message, I heard nothing. I am used for SuccSeed to faster than this even after just updating the seed list. But maybe he is just terribly busy with all the orders.
This is the list of what was sold out on my ADBLPS order:
COPIAPOA minima KK_1138 > Totoral Bajo/Chili [MG_85.719/05] - SoldOut
EPITHELANTHA micromeris L_749a > Parras 1100m/COAH/Mexique [U_4974/97] - SoldOut
EPITHELANTHA micromeris fa. neomexicana [DR/15] - SoldOut
PTEROCACTUS araucanus SAR_9042 > Gualjaina/Cushamen/Chubut/Argentine [DSW/SAR/15] - SoldOut
PTEROCACTUS araucanus SAR_9052 > route Gualjaina à Cushamen/Cushamen/Chubut/Argentine [DSW/SAR/15] - SoldOut
PTEROCACTUS hickenii v. skottsbergii RH_2299c_(OR) > Perito_Moreno_500m/Lago_Buenos_Aires/Santa_Cruz/Argentine [RH] - SoldOut
Shame about the Pterocacti, I was looking forwards to those - let's hope we can still get seeds from Europe next year....
