I'd have to say the quality of seeds depends purely upon the donors,
and blaming the seedbank operator or saying that quality should be
guaranteed is not only useless, it's unfair.
While we're on the subject, I was thinking of ordering some seed from
the bank. Is there any way I can get an update on its status through
this list?
And finally...my mystery pings which are developing flowers are
acting rather strangely. One of them has put up a scape which is
leaning over heavily (much like the photo of P. lutea in Lecoufle's
book) and only seems to be opening partially to reveal withered
petals. The other one has not fully put up a scape--a new leaf seems
to be holding it down. Is this something that happens from time to
time, or have I done something wrong?
