Probably the best bet would be the Czech collectors or Kurt Vickery maybe?

Otto had a flower on rosnbachiana recently, so he'll have cups full of seed any day now. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

The most comprehensive list is that of Jan Jilek: http://www.wildbulbs.eu/cypripedium/seeds_catalogue.pdf (http://www.wildbulbs.eu/cypripedium/seeds_catalogue.pdf)

Details of how to order are here: http://www.wildbulbs.eu/cypripedium/catsed.htm (http://www.wildbulbs.eu/cypripedium/catsed.htm)

I placed an order 6 weeks ago but have received no reply or acknowledgement. I ordered last year in early summer and received my order without problems. Perhaps others may know of the current situation regarding JJ.

As we have discovered many times in this forum, Jan is often away for long periods
