Hi Diane

You can absolutely trust Bjornar's seeds and himself too. Upper quality, with great germination rates, very "professional" indeed, in my opinion in every aspect far more better than others I would not name ::)

When he lived in Norway, he once gave me one of his Meconopsis delavayi plants. Such a lovely gesture.

Thanks for the kind words!  :) I've been busy packing seeds here, the first 71 orders are done, and I hope to get the remaining 40 posted next week.

The local post office decided to be difficult (scary foreigner sending scary seeds :P), so I'm shipping the seeds through Hong Kong. It takes about a week from Chengdu to Hong Kong, and roughly 2 weeks for the seeds to reach Europe, so I'm hoping most of you will have received the seeds by Christmas.
