My Seed List (Free giveaway and for swapping)

Post by Armen Tsirunyan »

Hi fellow cactophiles! I have several dozen varieties of cactus seeds that I am willing to give away or swap. I have compiled a google spreadsheet where you can find all the necessary information: the label of the seeds, when they were harvested, whether or not I have tried sowing them, photos, etc.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... Uw/pubhtml

Rules:
1. Don't ask for seeds (or a quantity of seeds) you are not intending to sow
2. If I send the seeds one way only (no swapping), I will send them as unregistered mail (for cost efficiency), and they will probably be with you in 2 months or even more with no possibility of tracking. If the seeds go two way, I will send them as registered mail with tracking number.
3. Seeds that are "for swapping only" - I don't have a predefined list of "wants". Just let me know what you have to offer and we'll negotiate.

If you're interested, P.M. me.

The list has been updated (same link above works):
- I have run out quite a substantial number of free giveaway species
- 4 new astrophytums harvested in March have been added

Please note that I usually wait till 5-10 people have applied and process their "orders" in one go, so please note that it may take 1-4 weeks for me to reply to your message. In order to save time, please include the following in your message:
- list of items you want
- if the list contains "swap only" items, list of items you can offer (cactus seeds only)
- your address

Thank you :)

P.S. As a lot of people keep asking me, let me reiterate this: I ship seeds completely free of charge, including postal costs, mostly because I cannot accept payments via PayPal or other major payment systems.

I have updated the list again: (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... Uw/pubhtml)
- I have run out of Melocactus matanzanus
- I have added two Mammillaria proliferas (gold spined and brown spined)
- I have created a new tab "Archive" which will retain all the items even if I run out of them
- The "No" column has been replaced by Unique ID column. Those will not be reused. This are not sequential any more.

Update:

I'm out of Mammillaria prolifera (brown spines) and Astrophytum asterias with red flowers. Two rebutia species of own harvest and Mammillaria hahniana from Koehres have been downgraded from Swap Only to "Free giveaway" as I think I will be having a new harvest soon.

New rule: Let's try to limit 10 items per person due to packing issues.

Updated list at the same link:

Cheers,

Hi everyone,

I've made several updates to my list. As far as the whole enterprise goes, the changes are as follows:
- The file (see at the end of this post) is now self-contained, i.e. all the information needed for requesting seeds etc. is now incorporated in the file itself. Including detailed information about the file and listing itself. Open it, you'll see for yourselves.
- I am done with the private messages on this forum. The messenger is simply horrible making the tracking of messages and therefore orders a very tedious and unpleasant task. I will now accept orders only via email (full details in the file)
- The Free Seed list is now in a different tab from Seeds for Swapping

As far as the list goes. I have run out of the following
24 Rebutia deminuta
3 Astrophytum senile
7 Astriphytum x ornatum
10 Acanthocalycium glaucum
18 Mammillaria hahniana

Instead the following Free Seeds have been added:
28 Frailea pumila
30 Coryphantha (Neolloydia) odorata
31 Astrophytum (x) capricorne
32 Astrophytum x ornatum
33 Rebutia sp. (cf. deminuta)
34 Mammillaria bocasana
35 Turbinicarpus sp. (swobodae?)
36 Echinocereus subinermis
37 Echinopsis aurea
38 Echinopsis aurea
39 Rhipsalis pilocarpa
42 Mammillaria nunezii
43 Trichocereus hybrid mix
44 Parodia erubescens (Notocactus schlosseri)
The following Seeds for Swapping have been added:

27 Stenocactus multicostatus "erectocentrus"
29 Obregonia denegrii
40 Rebutia fulviseta
41 Turbinicarpus schmiedickeanus ssp. klinkerianus
45 Acanthocalycium spiniflorum

Hello. You are worried about a cacti lover from Ukraine. Can I get seeds for sowing? I collect a collection of round (spherical) cacti.
