This is very little list Stephen  ;D.

Well, I curently collected some of them. Yesterday I collected a very beautiful endemic Labiatae, Sideritis montana subsp. ebracteata I will also keep some seed for you if you are interested.

I'll send the bigger one tomorrow  ;) (just kidding!)

..and yes, yes, yes please to the Sideritis - I hadn't included tea plants in my list...

Stephen, where do you intend to grow all these plants? Have you purchased more land?

Well, you know your family's farm up the road from here - nice spot facing south...

I don't know what my relatives would say -  using the dairy to nurse seedlings and growing "vegs" in the wheatfields :o :o
. . . . or maybe they're tired of the early rise to milk and long nights harvesting the cereals ;D
