For those that reside in the USA, this company sells wild-collected seeds of P. brownii. Usually not easy to find, so if you’d like to try your hand at it… A pity they don’t sell their seeds abroad, but given the phytosanitary regulations and costs it’s understandable.

liked thisEven better is part two: the growing field with again the name plates followed by shots of the plants in the field.

Thank you
It is a great time of the year to be moving seedlings from the germination flats. This back cross of P. (tenuifolia rosea Kinlin x tenuifolia flore plena)x P tenuifolia Kinlin will be fun to see bloom in a few years.

Good luck with them!
I just got a notice that not everything runs as it is supposed to when trying to register for the site. Several people were in the ‘pending’ membership list. The ones that seemed legit and familiar to me I’ve just activated manually and they should be able to log in. There’s a spam filter that blocks many (a few thousand actually) and probably the…Read More
