To all,

        As a contributor to Allen's gigantic seed list, I thought I ought
to make a short comment. As to quality of the seed, I don't know if he
keeps them refrigerated, but I know that he asks people to mail the seeds
to him in bubble-plastic to avoid damage. All the seeds I ever received
from him were similarly wrapped in bubble-plastic for protection. In
regards to the age of the seeds, I see some on his list which I remember
having collected as long ago as December 92/January 93. But I have no
idea how long these Drosera/ Genlisea/ Utric seeds are viable anyways.
        Oh well, good luc to all in germinating my Brazilian species and
please keep me posted on which species are now growing well in
cultivation! I like to know how my "babies" are doing!

Best Wishes,

Fernando Rivadavia
