Free seeds / seed swap

Post by Aiko »

I have some seeds on offer, mostly obtained from my own plants (freshly harvested this season).

It is my preference to swap them for other seeds so I can give some other species a go too (I am mostly interested in Ariocarpus, mesembs and other African succulents). If you don't mind reimbursing postage from the Netherlands via paypal, I can send them for free to you anywhere in the world and skip the swap.

Please send me a personal message if you are interested.

For now I have the following seeds available for swapping:
- Conophytum lydiae "haramoepense"
- Drimia uniflora
- Frailea castanea
- Grahamia palmeri (just a few seeds left, plant gets very tuberous roots, will give pretty purple flowers in about three years)
- Haworthia sordida (plant grows slowly)
- Lithops sp. mix
- Massonia pustulata
- Pseudolithos migiurtinus (just a few seeds, plant needs much warmth throughout the year!)
- Titanopsis calcarea
- Turbinicarpus pseudopectinatus
- Turbinicarpus valdezianus v. valdezianus (pink flowering form)
- Turbinicarpus valdezianus v. albiflorus (white flowering form)
- Wigginsia sessiliflora macracantha / Notocactus sellowii

This summer and spring I have collected seeds of some species again. All freshly harvested from my own plants from spring 2013 onwards.

All seeds on offer are free, unless where it states 'swapping only'.
The free seeds are available for the cost of just one (international) stamp, reimbursement of postage via paypal (about 1.40 euro total worldwide, for EU countries 1.35 euro total). But swapping instead of reimbursement has my preference. I like swapping... I am mostly much interested in seeds of African succulents.

If you fancy any of the following, please send me a personal message if you are interested:
- Anacampseros arachnoides
- Astrophytum myriostigma
- Astrophytum myriostigma var. nudum
- Avonia quinaria var. alstonii (white flowering form, not much to offer, swapping only)
- Avonia quinaria var. quinaria (purple flowering form, not much to offer, swapping only)
- Bowiea volubilis
- Epithelantha micromeris (not much to offer)
- Epithelantha bokei
- Euphorbia meloformis (not much to offer)
- Euphorbia obesa (not much to offer)
- Gasteria sp.
- Grahamia palmeri (synonym of G. coahuilense? Develops very tuberous roots, will give pretty purple flowers in about three years)
- Gymnocalycium spegazzinii (bit unsure if the seeds have ripened well... not much to offer)
- Haworthia sordida (not much to offer, swapping only)
- Lithops sp. mix (not much to offer until spring)
- Pediocactus knowltonii (swapping only)
- Pleiospilos compactus subsp. canus
- Pseudolithos migiurtinus (keep warm throughout the year! Swapping only)
- Strombocactus disciformis
- Thelocactus hexaedrophorus
- Turbinicarpus valdezianus var. albiflorus (white flowering form)
- Turbinicarpus valdezianus var. valdezianus (pink flowering form)
- Wigginsia sessiliflora var. macracantha (synonym of Wigginsia sellowii var. macracantha, Notocactus macranthus, Notocactus sellowii)

Of some species I don't have much seeds to offer. First come first serve basis.

Yes it is.

I am just about to send away some seeds. Of which the last seeds I have of a few of the species.
If you want a few of those species, please be quick. As I haven't send them yet (I intend to do this tomorrow) I can still share some with you too before I send away the lot.
