An exciting new source for seeds of bulbous plants is announced from Oron Peri:
"After having so many requests for seeds in recent years, I have decided to start doing it on commercial basis. Inspired by the late Jim Archibald.
The business (if you can call it one..) is run in equal parts by myself and my friend and partner for work Mansour Yassin, who happens to be a Muslim.
We thought of naming our venture as 'Seeds Of Peace'** as we both believe things can be done here differently...maybe we are too naïve.....time will tell."
I am sure we wish these friends success in this venture
There is no website for this venture- order from the list. Here is the first list from Oron and Mansour -

** Please note that there is an existing organisation with this name that is not connected with Oron and Mansour's seed venture.

Indeed Maggi!
Very best wishes Oron and Mansour for every success.

Very nice. Now to find space for a few more seed pots... ::)

Best wishes Oran and Mansour for your new venture and may your name (Seeds of Peace ) be a leitmotif for the whole of the Middle East.

I utterly love the name of Oron and Mansour venture, with all the meanings it implies! I've started to browse through the list - so many rare & interesting species.
I wish a small greenhouse will fall in my backyard from the sky ::) ???
-
It's a great name isn't it- and a super project.
-
New Seeds of Peace list will be out soon.
If you are not already on the list, email Oron to be added ... Oron Peri (oronperi@gmail.com)

Thanks for this note Maggi but Oh Dear! just I'm getting my credit card under control at last. I guess they will accept Paypal? :) I saw the last list but too late so will email Oron now.
-
Just got the list from Oron and will post it here soon. Too big to go direct on forum - I need to o a little work on it.

Just as well we can't order bulbs - I've just spent enough on seeds :o

The latest offering from Oron Peri is now available on his website http://seedsofpeace.info/ (http://seedsofpeace.info/)
Oron says: “Very glad to announce that my website is updated now with more than 400 items to choose from. Quite a few new species on offer, some highly desirable. There will be few more additions in the coming week so check it again by the end of next week. Thank you and enjoy!”
I already got my order in, but plenty of seed of rare and beautiful bulbous treasures still to be had.

Sadly, Oron has said that he can't get the necessary Phyto to be able to send seeds to Australia :'( :'( :'(

Luckily for New Zealand gardeners the need for a phyto cert has not been introduced but I sense it will only be a matter of time.

Probably one of the things Jacinda discussed with Albo when she dropped over last week https://womensagenda.com.au/latest/all-the-things-jacinda-ardern-and-anthony-albanese-probably-talked-about-at-dinner-last-night/ (https://womensagenda.com.au/latest/all-the-things-jacinda-ardern-and-anthony-albanese-probably-talked-about-at-dinner-last-night/)
