I have a bunch of Nepenthes seeds (approx 3 -6months old) - albomarginata, rafflesiana, ampullaria, sanguinea, macfarlanii and a bunch of others that has been sitting on my desk for the past few weeks... I'm afraid I've been a bit too busy ...and I'm sure they're expiring so I will give them to people who had traded with me in the past few months. I'll mail them (in packets of 50 - 100+ seeds) to the addresses that I got from you earlier.
I'm also expecting another fresh trade of ampullaria seeds, from Singapore, so I will share these seeds as soon as I get them.
I believe Sib is running the seedbank, so she will get the lion's share for future distribution.

If you have any extras Flytrap I wouldn’t mind a few to do some TC experiments with. I don't have any seed to trade at the moment but will have in the future. Thanks Stephen

Nep seeds all sent out yesterday...apologies to those who can't read my handwriting, but it's suppose to read the seeds range in age from 4 to six or so months. (sorry... I was writing it while rushing out to catch the ferry). Again, I think the seeds are on the borderline of viability - the seeds all came to me earlier this year from my friends in singapore, Indonesia and malaysia ... literally, tens of thousands of seeds - please share them around if you like. (I just received a new collection of green, spotted and red ampullaria seeds today from Singapore).
I sent out seeds to those who had traded with me in the past ... others who wish to receive seeds, please PM me and mail me your SASE.

I've given away most of the amp, raff and macfarlanii seeds. I sent them out in no particular order, so some folks got a bit of each, and some of just one species.
The remaining seeds are amps, raffs, red albomarginata, sanguinea and stenophylla. I have a bad feeling that the seeds are at the end of their viability (it's been six months!).
I have a female N. Eymae in flower now. Anyone got some male pollen from the following species: maxima, fusca or stenophylla? I'll split half of these seeds with those who can supply me with fresh pollen from these species. I also have male ventricosas and a male singalana in bloom, but would prefer to cross the eymae with a male from the same "maxima" family.

Hi all- I'm expecting a fresh batch of mixed rafflesiana, mirabilis x crosses and ventricosa xcrosses seeds next week. I'd be interested in trading some of them away for other CP seeds or whatever (lithops are okay too ...drop me a PM.

All seeds are gone now. I heard back from some of you... I'm also a little worried that some of you may not have received your seeds, as I got an email from a grower saying that she never got my mail. It may be that it was intercepted by Canada post - as some of the envelopes were quite fat with the seeds

By intercepted, do you means because of insufficient stamping or suspicious looking?

By intercepted, do you means because of insufficient stamping or suspicious looking? Tom- I meant suspicious looking. Here I am , always advocating proper labelling and comprehensible handwriting, but I was so dang rushed that day, I raced through the whole process...knowing that if i didn't do it that day, I'd never get around to it again. Some of the envelopes were just bloated. ....uh, in some cases, I just mailed off the seed capsules, stems, fruits and all... like I said , I was about to miss my ferry ride. I guess Canada post thought they were illicit stuff or something. Next time I get new seeds, I'll post it here...ahead of time. Btw, I may be heading over to Malaysia and Indonesia in a few months to check out some wild neps....and hey, the seeds should be kind of ready for sampling. I know we're not suppose to remove wild seeds, but a lot of the habitats get cleared for highways and development...so I just sample a small quantity here and there with great respect and judicious thoughts.

The seeds arrived today David. Much thanks. I'm getting some fresh TC media ready just for the occasion. If some decide to grow I will send you some cultures. Stephen
