Title: 'Seeds of Peace' - Source of seed of bulbous species
Post by: Maggi Young on July 25, 2014, 02:25:38 PM: 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.

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.

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/)

Title: Re: 'Seeds of Peace' - Source of seed of bulbous species
Post by: Vinny 123 on May 03, 2025, 05:01:36 PM: I dropped a mail to Oron maybe 3, 4 weeks ago and haven't had an answer as yet. Normal?

A group of friends are looking to place an order when the new listing appears and I was hoping that we could all order individually and then ask Oron to combine them.

Thoughts, anyone?
Title: Re: 'Seeds of Peace' - Source of seed of bulbous species
Post by: Maggi Young on May 03, 2025, 05:52:22 PM: Oron has been away - as is often the case - try further contact - I'm sure he'll get back to you.
