| No extra - thay won't take up much space :-) There were so many seeds this year, and I can't bear not to harvest them. Anyone else wanting some? |
RE: lupins

| I'd love some. I have been buying seeds on eBay since I moved and have far less access to plant and seed places and so far had none stopped for a look and none of the envelopes marked either. |

| Pity WA has stricter quarantine as lupins are a crop here. I got Pixie Lupins from a nursery, so maybe settle for them. We have alkaline soils anyway. |

Try Green Harvest seeds. I think I got mine from them a year back. I don't have the packet anymore so cannot be 100% it was them but I am pretty sure. Good luck.

| Do you have any lupin seeds left, Sparaxis? I would love some Mary |

| Diggers seeds has Russell Lupins and they also have no restriction sending them to WA. The ban on them has apparently been lifted. I went to the AG Dept web site to check and Russell Lupins are not listed as restricted seed, some others are but they are mainly crop lupins. |

I have a fair bit left for people who want to send me a SSAE. E-mail me privately and i will give you my address.
Cheers, Jan |

| Hi folks, I posted the lupin seeds last night to those that sent me an SSAE. That's all for this year. Had a hot day and many of them dropped to the ground, so i missed collecting them. Hope I get a few seedlings! |

hi sparaxis, if you dont get many lupins come up let me know and i will send you some seeds ,you were kind enough to give me some so its the least i can do, also the irises are starting to shoot nicely, you must have a terrific garden but you obviously enjoy it.
take care

Thanks Lorraine - I did keep some for myself though :-)
The parent plants will be around for a few years to come, I hope, and you can divide them in winter for new plants.
Cheers, Jan |
