Alan,

I am hoping to collect some wild seed of Epigaea repens in June. This is the first time I have attempted this, so I cannot guarantee success. I just have to be sure that my timing is right, so i don't miss the ripening seeds. You can pm me.

Cheers,

Gordon

Tip  - seeds pods rare, hard to spot, keepm checking every few days once you find a ripe one and get there before the ants do.  Did it once, never again - almost the end of blackfly season, peak mosquito season, start of deerfly season, end of tick season.
