As a recent joiner to the list, this conversation has made me wonder =
if ordering seeds from Seed-X is worth the trouble - though I'm sure the ==
resulting plants are unique and fabulous.
Just as a thought, the group could simply send someone from the U.S. =
to Europe to get the seeds and then the seeds could be mailed within the ==
US.
I would, of course, volunteer to be the courier.

which did not come in my permit packet (she is now sending it to me). =
That enclosure has directions for mailing plant quarantine materials =
under permit. I won't understand how this relates until I can read it. ==
I have a hard time understanding the whole process, but what I am =
getting is that this whole thing is in a mess. And Carolyn said it's =
going to get worse.
