Orders for Amorphophallus lewallei

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" hetter at worldonline.nl> on 2000.03.15 at 22:52:26(4217) Folks, Those of you who ordered Amorphophallus lewallei and don't get any tubers (you don't know that yet, so DON'T ASK!), may be willing to wait some for seeds. We have a developing infructescence with probably enough seeds to make everybody happy a few weeks from now. What say if we ship the seeds in padded envelopes....... This brilliant idea just occurred to me..... Cheers, Wilbert

From: "Bonaventure W Magrys" magrysbo at shu.edu> on 2000.03.16 at 04:05:25(4219) Wilbert, Film canisters would probably be the safest as the heavy steel rollers of mail processing equipment would still put tremendous pressure on the seeds, even through the padding - speaking from experience. Could you please put me down for some?

I am sure you're right aboyut the canisters but I don't know if Leiden staff goes that far. This IS a HUGE undertaking for them as it is. I must be careful not to annoy them.

From: "Eduardo Goncalves" edggon at hotmail.com> on 2000.03.18 at 01:50:27(4232) Wilbert, I agree with Bonaventure. Some small tubers of Asterostigma pavonii you sent me two years ago was sadly crushed in 2D chips and it was in a padded envelope. People at Selby Gardens sent titanum seeds in a small case for audio K7 tapes. They arrived in good shape, but I don't know if they are available there in Netherlands (or if they are cheap enough). Best wishes, Eduardo. +More P.S. My Amorph. seeds you sent in common envelopes are now thiner than herbarium specimens! >From: "Bonaventure W Magrys" >Reply-To: aroid-l@mobot.org >To: Multiple recipients of list AROID-L >Subject: Re: Orders for Amorphophallus lewallei >Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2000 22:05:22 -0600 (CST) > >Wilbert, >Film canisters would probably be the safest as the heavy steel rollers of >mail >processing equipment would still put tremendous pressure on the seeds, even >through the padding - speaking from experience. >Could you please put me down for some? >Thank you, >Bonaventure Magrys > >"Wilbert Hetterscheid" on 03/15/2000 05:52:34 PM >Please respond to aroid-l@mobot.org > > > >To: Multiple recipients of list AROID-L >cc: (bcc: Bonaventure W Magrys/ADM/SHU) > >Subject: Orders for Amorphophallus lewallei > > > > >Folks, > >Those of you who ordered Amorphophallus lewallei and don't get any tubers >(you don't know that yet, so DON'T ASK!), may be willing to wait some for >seeds.

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" hetter at worldonline.nl> on 2000.03.18 at 15:01:12(4243) O.k., I have had it with all advices now. I have said that I am doing what I can. If that's not enough, well, buy a ticket to Holland and come and geddit. Also I'd like to ask everybody NOT to email me about the additional Dracontiums. I have said: whoever ordered Amorphs, will get a an extra few Dracontiums. I can't be clearer, now can I? Let me finish this round of sending material in piece and quiteness, o.k.! Thanks all.
