Robb - I see the EU's & Canadians have started their own Round Robin's now, seems like (with the beauty of the Internet) time for NZ to start theirs rolling!

Really? We were talking much about starting it, but there just weren't many people interested. Everything is quiet now.

Well maybe next year.

I am a little confused if those out of the USA wanna join and willing to pay the shipping cost why not join? I have bought things on ebay from New Zealand, and England and I just sent seeds to a friend in Japan and she sent me some. I feel bad for those feeling excluded. I know the cost is hefty well some consider it hefty but its still worth it to some of us just to have that bit of fun in our collections. My English plant cost me the most it was a nice haworthia straita... it was around $20. my seed shipments cost me under $4. (NZ and Japan). Might I suggest sending seeds out of country might be a way to include everyone.

I have a few plain haworthia and plain gasteria I could add. If its not to late to join. I expect to have way too many hosta egans seeds also here shortly.. not a cacti i know...lol


I think most people misunderstand or maybe it's me. But I found out that if your only mailing under 3 maybe 5 plants out of the US or into.. Those photo and cities papers are not needed. Those are for mostly for larger commercial shipments. ( This I learned from the British Nursery who ships small orders to the US often and for decades. )

I bet I opened a can of words with that...

I've never tried entire plants, but seeds can "slip" thru. My understanding -- which could be wrong -- is ANY plants, commercial or private, could/would be confiscated. Harald, who's on this forum, works for a U.S. agency (Dept of Ag? -- sorry Harald, have never caught that info) @ the Texas border, that regularly confiscates plants. I have "slipped" a few O. humifusa pads to neighbors to the North & South -- but really wouldn't recommend. Clarification of that would be interesting. Seems long-time members frequently apologize for not having "Papers" for shipping overseas.
