Small update again. I added Bowiea to the list, as the seed pods are now ripe. The postage price will go up by 5 eurocent for 2020, postage will not be 1.50 euro for worldwide delivery.

I have the following species available for free to everyone, experienced or inexperienced:
- Albuca shawiii (one portion left) - harvest of autumn 2019
- Anacampseros arachnoides (one portion left) - harvest of autumn 2019
- Bowiea volubilis - harvest of winter 2019
- Delosperma sp. (should take some frost when dry) (one portion left) - harvest of autumn 2019
- Eucomis vandermerwei (one portion left) - harvest of autumn 2019
- Eucomis zambesiaca (one portion of seven seeds left) - harvest of autumn 2019
- Ferocactus glaucescens - harvest of summer 2019
- Habranthus tubispathus - harvest of summer 2019
- Lithops sp. (one portion left) - harvest of summer 2019
- Tulbaghia galpinii - harvest of summer 2019

I have the following species available for free to experienced growers only:
- Bulbine aff. mesembryanthemoides (one portion left) - harvest of summer 2019
- Bulbine wiesei (one portion of 3 seeds left) - harvest of summer 2019
- Conophytum friedrichiae (ex SB1208, Samoep) (one portion left)- harvest of autumn 2019
- Drimia uniflora (one portion left) - harvest of summer 2019
- Lachenalia aloides var. quadricolor (one portion of 11 seeds left) - harvest of spring 2019
- Lachenalia (Polyxena) ensifolia (one portion left) - harvest of spring 2019
- Massonia echinata (one portion left) - harvest of spring 2019
- Massonia pustulata (mother plant possibly a Massonia hybrid, so can't guarentee this to be a "true" M. pustulata) - harvest of spring 2019
- Turbinicarpus valdezianus var. albiflorus (one portion left) - harvest of summer 2019

And I have these available for swapping only:
- Drimia ciliata (ex Visrivier) - harvest of autumn 2019
- Epithelantha micromeris - harvest of summer 2019
- Mammillaria coahuilense (ex SB699, Hipolito, Coahuila, Mexico) - harvest of summer 2019
- Resnova megaphylla (ex Tonteldoos) (one portion of 4 seeds left) - harvest of summer 2019

Please send me a personal message if you are interested.

I do not count the seeds per bag, so I cannot guarantee a certain amount of seeds. I make sure you will get more than enough, usually multiple dozens per species per bag if they are not rare and / or my stock is not extremely low. Seeds usually are clean, but depending on the species there could be some flower debris along with the seeds as for some species it is hard to harvest them without flower remains and a chore to get them out.

I don't sell any seeds. All seeds on offer are free, unless the species that are 'swapping only'. For free seeds please reimburse me for postage via paypal. Reimbursement will be 1.50 euro for worldwide delivery if I can keep the envelope below 20 grams (in most cases). Occasionally the envelope will be heavier, doubling the postage costs (I will let you know if this is the case).

I can send seeds all around the world (if your country needs a customs CN22 declaration that's not a problem, e.g. for Australia or New Zealand).

They are from an open and uncontrolled pollination, so could be hybrid seeds.

I cleaned seed pods for Succulenta. Sometimes seeds get spilled, and later on I don't know to which species they belong too. Instead of throwing them away, I prefer giving them away. So I added one portion of Epithelantha mix to my list. It probably (no guarentees) ranges from E. bokei, E. pachyrhyza to a few E. micromeris forms. Don't expect E. ilariae, though.

More out of stock. The Anacampseros arachnoides are now gone, as are the Turbinicarpus valdezianus var. albiflorus and Delosperma sp. seeds too.

It looks my stock is getting really low with all the red text. However I expect fresh harvested seeds of Turbinicarpus valdezianus again next April or May, and by then I should have some interesting Massonia species (M. tenella, M. amoena) on offer too, if all goes well.
