Hi Paul,

Thankyou Paul,

Everything you say makes perfect sense, yet I can see why customers could
become easily dis -enchanted when species they want are not obtainable. An
idea might be to note the expected delivery dates for certain species that
are in limited availability.

But certainly I can understand when there is a failure in obtaining seed
stock. yet you have cleared up how this firm operates, and who wouldn't
want good fresh seed over last years old stock with little or no
germination.
Sincerely,

~ Mike
