I read about that somewhere else, what a horrible situation. RIP to the victims.

Poor souls...
We sailed through endless skies
Stars shine like eyes
The black night sighs
The moon in silver trees
Falls down in tears
Light of the night
The earth, a purple blaze
Of sapphire haze in orbital ways...

Re: News on Silverhill Seeds and their owners
I understood today that the Silverhill seed business will be carried over to their (grand)children? Don't know how accurate this news might be. Anyone can confirm?
Re: News on Silverhill Seeds and their owners
Hi Aiko-
Yes, the business is carrying on, but I believe the business was willed to a long time employee. Ondine is the lady's name.
Pacific Bulb Society has a memorial on the Saunders and details of new ownership.

Thanks for the information. So not their (grand)children then.
