Wow, thanks Moby!

Seriously Anthony, it's that easy to send you seeds? The government doesn't come knocking at your door? Mamajack on here ordered some crocosmia from England and got in all sorts of trouble with customs. Now I know that's bulbs, not seeds. Is Australia much more strict on bulbs? Are they hard to send? Do things get hung up in your customs for a long time?

I always spend time making seeds, too many probably. I'd be happy to share some next Fall. I have a whole room full of little seedlings right now from my Fall crop of 2010.

So would I write lily seeds on the front of the envelope since you have quarantine approval?

In my business I have never shipped outside of the continental US, except for Alaska. This sounds like lots of fun.

Not scary for me at all. I think it will be tons of fun.

When I sold my first irises in Alaska, I was so worried about the length of time in transit. I almost had an anxiety attack. But two days! From NY to Alaska.

The hardest thing about sending Anthony seeds is the new customs form -TRIPLICATE!
I print out the address (3 each to and from) on labels and put them on the forms. Next time you are at the PO pick up the forms they are usually on the counters:
PS form 2976 aka Customs Declaration CN22

Of course it has 2 numbers, it is the US gov't NOTHING is simple!
