New seeds additions

Many thanks to all shopping seeds from the Early fall BotanyCa Seed List!

With the bulk of the orders coming in the first day after Shop reopening, there was a slight delay with shipping the orders, my apologies; new seeds collections are also in need of cleaning and files prepared for upload.
Orders are processed in the order they were received. However, I had to give a slight priority to those containing moist packed seeds, Actaea, Aralia and other such ‘emergencies’.

Firstly, seeds of Clintonia borealis  and Hypericum kalmianum are back in stock!

Plus, we have new additions which require immediate attention.
Often I get questions I cannot answer because I really cannot know if there will be a chance to collect and/or a good year for various species, especially when it comes to wild collections. It doesn’t mean I don’t listen; if possible, I always try to fulfill the wishes.
Without further ado, I bring to your attention:

Maianthemum canadense, the lovely Canada Mayflower;

and Cornus canadensis, the bunchberry – not in the moist packed category, but very fresh and small quantity (not a good year for the bunchberry like it was two years ago). For those unfamiliar, a plant portrait for bunchberry here: The cure for insanity.

I will also mention Prosartes lanuginosa  although the seeds (from plants growing in my garden which were grown from seeds!) have already been ‘taken’ by someone before I got the chance to announce them.

This is to emphasize the fact that it was the first time my small garden patch produced enough seeds to be worth collecting them. A step forward in propagating this quite rare Prosartes, and the only of its kind growing in Ontario – conservation through propagation in action!

Non-native wise, in limited quantities:
Disporum uniflorum –  the beautiful Korean yellow bell, in case it was missed last year;

and Daphne tangutica – new to the moist packed seeds category because dry stored seeds have a terribly bad germination. I don’t always collect them, but it is a very nice semi-evergreen Daphne in our climate and very resistant to drought, which makes it even more valuable.

Stay tuned for more…
