      So sorry Pam. My dad has been ill so I've been back and forward to the UK and not given the seeds a thought. I promise I will sort them out today and get them in the post.

        I've just got back from LA so I've only just seen this. As I'm first on the list I was going to add mine then (about 25 packets). Maybe I should start it off from here if you want?

        That could be a good idea, I am starting to get some contributions through, so I could post what I have to you, We could be aiming to start late October most seeds will be gathered and dried by then.
        That would be great, thanks Nick, will let you know where to send later.

        I don't have any collected as yet ... I had the same problem last year, and added my seeds as the parcel came past my door ... perhaps circulating the parcel twice (for anyone who wants it on a second pass) is easier on @pamsdish than getting everyone to contribute centrally first?

        Maybe a bit of "some & some" even :)

        I am still collecting as well, due to mild weather continuing, would it perhaps be easier all round if we start after Christmas, less chance of getting caught up in parcel rush. Just an idea into pot.

            I have some Paeonia lutea seed, fresh picked, just concerned that they might be too big.
            If wanted let have an address to send them to.
