I have been so busy with our recent frosts and Christmas I have not been back here.

Sadly, even though the seed pod of RK X DP was rotting as it should when ripe, it seems it was immature. The date says it was 2.50 months old so I would think it should have been OK but perhaps because it is winter it did not mature right. At first I had trouble getting the seeds to dry and as they did they were so light weight. So they, break my heart, which was a huge pod, are not viable.

Now I only have the one pod to share RK X (EPXRK) and a few of another one. So I will start at the top of the list and just go down as far as I can. I will dmail when I send them so you know to check your mail. Don't worry about the cost, it will be minimal. I am so sorry if I got your hopes up!

And on a side note, if you haven't tried rockwool to germinate your seeds, you might want to try it! I have always had excellent results with brug seeds and clivia seeds using it.

I am so excited. I got some very special bomarea seeds from a friend that works for the Strybing in San Francisco.
