Wanted: Seeds

I am looking for seeds of specifically agaves, although I would still like to hear of offers of any other kind. I do need the seeds to be able to remain viable for 2+ springs though. More than likely I would need to have the seeds shipped, as I believe I am far away from the majority of the members in this group, and don't really have the time to pick up anything at the moment. Species and hybrids are equally wanted. Thanks!

Why not order from the seed vendors all over the world?

Well,the only reputable ones I know of are in the UK and the shipping tends to be insane... Plus, there are even fewer that sell hybrid seeds

You can still order from European nurseries.

I could, but I'd rather not pay $90 of shipping for $20 of seeds as others have said

When you mentioned UK nurseries I assumed you were UK based hence my comment re European nurseries.

^ Yup. I have tons of agave seed here, but there is no mention of locale from the OP, and I'm not interested in shipping out of the country.

This is not his profile. Initially, people thought he was from Europe. I asked him his location in this thread AFTER I looked in his profile to see where his location was.

Gee.S asked for his location after he posted it in this thread, that's why I brought it up again :))

I'll have hundreds of seeds, from probably between 20-30 species, early this spring. All species, no hybrids. If you're interested, I'll send a list of what I think will be available.

Might be a few people interested around here!
