Mine have arrived too! I'm so excited. Thank you so much to everyone involved. I'm going to try to be more organised this year with dates and photos of seedlings. Reading this forum is getting me trained up!

Mine arrived today as well, all but three first choices. Many thanks to the seed team and the donors. Just got my AGS seeds sown 2 days ago so must check if I've enough clean pots and labels so I can get the SRGC ones sown.

Me too. All but two first choices. Only problem is that I'm in the middle of decorating the en-suite so I'll have to wait a few days before sowing. Thanks to all concerned.

Some snaps taken earlier today. The packets you receive are laid out in trays and the volunteers select from these trays using the lists you have sent in. They then put them into envelopes according to the regulations of the recipient county as some destinations eg USA and Australia require extra paperwork such as an accompanying list of contents. The packets then go into boxes -UK; Europe; USA, rest of the world etc. and are taken to the post office after each weekend. The green trays have the reserve stocks of seed and someone - here madam president - fills extra packets when required. A liberal supply of cakes and biscuits is on hand to encourage the troops.

Hi all
Second instalment from the seed distribution team. So far the team (20 different folk have helped) have spent around over 250 hours picking and sending your seed requests. Stan's snaps above show Sheila Anderson picking a request, Liz Mills packing a completed request, Rob Graham, Frazer Henderson and Ian Bainbridge doing important stuff, Mike Hicks checking for reserve seed, while President Carole Bainbridge makes up extra packets which have been requested.
We have now picked and packed around 1000 requests, most of which will be in the mail by tomorrow. Next weekend will see us finish off the last main requests and start on the surplus requests, so hopefully your main seed picks will be dropping through the letterbox very soon.
Happy sowing
Ian and Carole Bainbridge and the Edinburgh seedies

Hello SRGC Members !
My seeds arrived this morning..so cool !
I have a question about One packet of seed of Polemonium viscosum (N°3358), i see round cup ..and only one seed in that
Picture of that... Could anyone tel me what it's that ? Nobody here have the same strange packet ?
this is not serious
, but I looked forward and that there is apparently compromised especially with a single seed ... I really need a lot of luck.
If, some of you have seed of Polemonium viscosum in stock , please contact me
Have fun in your seedlings

Thank's maggi !
I see your link and it clear for me it's doesn't be the good species. The polemonium seeds are curved and a few smallest .
The indicator of the potential error was the pods of seed you could see in the picture..Perhaps someone could indentifiy the species with that ?
Question : Someone have a picture of seeds pods for this species (Polemonium viscosum) ?
For others polemoniums species the pods are similares (no?) and not like in this picture...
