The bees have been busy...

Post by Cidermanrolls »

My Echinopsis greenhouse is full of seed pods this year, as I guess are others'.
I will only be keeping a few of the seeds for my own purposes due to space limitations.
Is there interest in me / others forwarding seeds, once harvested, to either the main seedlist or the forum seed pool?
Everything in my case is open pollinated but I could segregate into groups reflective of the mother plant, e.g.; "German hybrid", "American hybrid", "Lobivia hybrid". Or it may be better simply to clump by genus group; "Echinopsis hybrid", "Trichocereus hybrid" etc..
Your thoughts please......

Better for the forum seed pool I think.

Clearly marked as open pollinated.

I would be interested in a few pods to be used for the new members pack.
Also, if any of the mother plants have particularly stunning flowers I may be interested to include one or two on the main list, clearly marked as open pollinated hybrids.

You can contact me on colser@live.co.uk

Many thanks
