I am trying to build a collection of Roscoea, and would offer to purchase seed of good plants, Seeds from any of the following cultivars are on my list:
Roscoea cautleyoides: Kew Beauty, Jeffrey Thomas, Purple King
Roscoea humeana: alba, McBeath's Pink, any good purple form
Roscoea purpurea: Brown Peacock, Red Gurkha, Royal Purple, Wisley Amethyst
Roscoea wardii.

Thank you to all of you who donated Roscoea seed to the seed exchange.Seed arrived this past week of R. auriculata ex Cally, R. auriculata ex 'Floriade', R. humeana, and R. tibetica. I still hope to find sources for some of the others, especially humeana alba, humeana McBeath's Pink, purpurea Red Gurkha, and Wisley Amethyst.
