Title: Seeking growers in Japan and Western Australia........
Post by: Maggi Young on January 22, 2011, 07:26:11 PM

Can anyone help an SRGC Member who wishes to contact any members in Japan about Primula sieboldii and in Western Australia about Thysanotus  ?

I have no further information... I presume he wants cultivation advice  ???
If any members from these areras thinks the may be willing to assist this chap, please send your email details to me via info@srgc.org.uk and I will pass them on.

There is a dedicated Japanese society devoted to sieboldii's
The Japanese version of the Society's website has their contact details.
The English version has cultural advice, but not details of membership.
They have a nice Journal.
The American sieboldii society is defunct.

-should add you need to translate the Japanese version with your translator of choice to get the details.
