This discussion from over on the Giant Vegetables forum lists several sources. Here is a link that might be useful: Where to get giant pumpkin seeds?

Cracking, you might like to try the following two seed exchanges: North American Rock Garden Society - http://www.nargs.org/ The American Primrose Society - http://www.americanprimrosesociety.org/ Both offer a wide variety of primrose species. For named cultivars, the APS is better, but NARGS' primrose packets are generally more generous in numbers of seeds. A very informative series of threads on growing primroses is here - http://cubits.org/irisforum/thread/view/32258/ Great wintersowing propagation thread - www.wintersown.org For a more comprehensive source on which primroses prefer cold and which prefer warm temps for germination - http://www.onrockgarden.com/ Good luck and I hope you get some great surprises

Hi Izhar, I think your climate may be a little warm for hemerocallis which originated in the temperate climate of Asia. You might have to shade the plant and limit full sun to the earlier, cooler parts of the day. There is a seed bank associated with the American Hemerocallis Society, which sends seeds to those that request, around the world. See the AHS link below and send them an email to put you in touch with the seed bank. There is also a Source list on the site, and several sell seeds. They should indicate if they ship internationally. Good luck, Ed Here is a link that might be useful: AHS Website

Hi Bob, I can heartily recommend Seedhunt in California as the best source of unusual Salvia seeds. My S. involucrata occasionally sets a few seeds in the UK, but they often seem to hybridise, and the results have not been impressive. Just look at www.seedhunt.com for the list. There are several Turkish Salvias which are highly sought-after in the UK, in particular S. kronenbergii and S. hydrangea. S. bracteata is another. We have the occasional S. multicaulis and S. albimaculata available. I was given seed of the elusive S. hydrangea....but it was not even a Salvia!!! I have seen pictures of S. kronenbergii on the Turkish Van florasi site, and have written to them asking about the possible availability of seeds, but did not get an answer. It is not easy for Turkish Salvias to thrive in a British climate, but I have had good results with S. aucheri, S. pisidica (this is a beauty), and S. cyanescens. S. albimaculata flowered and was really great...then it died! I was able to collect a few strange-looking seeds. I would also be happy to obtain seeds of the rare Turkish species, and would happily trade any available seeds that I have. Regards, Robin.
