Philodendron seed order

From: golfstra at cyvox.net.au on 1997.01.24 at 04:59:11(227) Dear aroiders It seems like there is a bit of interest in a Philodendron seed order from Alvim Seidel in Brazil. So far the following have registered interest. Todd Ruth San Diego Christian Feuillet Maryland +More Dick Mansell Tampa Dr. Victor Soukup Cincinnati ( he would like seed for research into the acid profiles of the seed lipids of aroids, not for growing) If I have missed anyone out please let me know. Given the logistics of sending seed from Brazil to Australia and then back to the USA it would probably make more sense if someone in the US volunteered to be the link man and coordinate the seed purchase and distribution . In this way it would be possible for the US recipients to receive seed fresher than if it has to cross the Pacific twice. Any thoughts and/or volunteers? I have faxed Alvim Seidel with my request for smaller seed quantities and an up to date seed list but have had no reply to date. If I dont get a reply soon I might ask Eduardo to check their fax number. As soon as I do I'll post the list onto Aroid-L along with their contact details. regards to all, Neil Neil Crafter Adelaide, Australia golfstra@cyvox.net.au

From: golfstra at cyvox.net.au on 1997.02.02 at 16:24:53(277) Dear aroiders, There have been a couple more people express interest in being part of a philodendron seed order from Brazil. The list is now: Todd Ruth +More Christian Feuillet Dick Mansell Dr. Vic Soukup Kent Treadway Donna McGraw Neil Crafter Todd Ruth has kindly offered to be the US link man. He also suggested that Alvim Seidel be asked to send part of the order to the US and the balance direct to Australia with us paying additional postage. I guess this is an option although I'm not sure how Alvim Seidel will respond ,especially considering that we are asking for quantities of 100 seeds per species when their usual minimum order is 1000 seeds. We can but ask. Re Alvim Seidel: to date I have had absolutely no response to my fax, and I might try sending it again so I'm afraid I cant report as to their latest list or whether they have agreed to our 100 seed min. per species. When I have some more news I'll report back. regards Neil Neil Crafter Adelaide Australia golfstra@cyvox.net.au

Initially I thought that it was going to involve shipment to Australia and I thought that this was too tenuous a connection.
