I have some seeds left over from hybridizations I made through the years 2010-2016. Don't know if the older seeds still germinate, but maybe still worth a try.
Considering that most of you are in the US and the lack of EU/US plant trade in general (due to regulations I suppose), this seems to be the easiest way to get some more genetic interaction between the continents (I'm in The Netherlands BTW)
For importing seeds into the US, a small seedlots permit is needed. From the information I found, this seems not to be so difficult and is free. A permit lasts for 3 years. More info can be found here: nargs.org/small-lots-seed (thanks to the Rock Garden Society)
The only limitation is for CITES species (and their hybrids!), which affects some of the hybrids in the list. Officially, these are only possible to import with a declaration of artificial propagation, but that could be difficult to obtain. Just contact me when you want these, we can see what is possible or not.
Here is the link to the list:
www.dropbox.com/s/5upv0alz5495y57/Sarracenia%20seeds%202017.xls?dl=0
I highlighted the pairs of reciprocal hybrids, which are basically the same, but with the mother/father reversed. However, sometimes you see a difference in seed size and vigour of seedlings between these hybrids, that is also the reason to make them both when possible.
I prefer to trade these for Sarracenia seeds (hybrids/species) from the US Sarracenia community. If you have nothing to trade, we can negotiate a small compensation, for the older seeds (2010/2013) I don't want to have anything but the postage compensation because I cannot guarantee the germination.
Also if you are from another country, feel free to ask for seeds, within the EU it will be easy to send some.
Kind regards,
Martin
