I'm not sure I'm posting on the right mail, but we would be interested for sure! Dave already has a wish list put together. Let us know how we can help? We have the ODA nursery license and also an import permit for the UK, but could easily get one for Germany...or wherever!

Check your T-mail Cynda, you will find the one to place your order.

You might want to contact Chris (goldfinch4) about the transport. We have found that having an east coast entry point has made a huge difference in how fast we get the plants. I will let you and Chris work that part out.
I am happy that you two are joining the fun. Hurray!

@turnini
Wolfgang, we have a question for you.
Many of us are still working on our wants lists, is there a cut off date for making changes to our lists?

no, there is no cut off. And I cannot promise, that all of the wanted plants will be available. Must visit first the different nurseries. After I have seen the stock in those nurseries I will be able to tell more.
So just go ahead in making lists. On the end I'll count together an go for looking. And, of course, there will probably more cultivars than the wanted in stock.
And there isn't a cut off in how many people can participate to that. No matter if there are 20 ore 50 or 100 members.

Wolfgang, the problem with having a larger group participating is the logistics of getting them all to their new homes once they get to the U.S. From here the boxes will have to be opened and repackaged and sent to multiple place around the United States.

Perennial Obsessions has the required documentation for them to come to the U.S. But I better leave the explanation of that to them.
@perennialobsessions
Cynda or Dave, can you explain to us how it works?

This is a wonderful project , full marks to Wolfgang for his idea and hard work . Don't forget to post your want lists here folks so the rest of us can drool . Your list is impressive Greg ! Actually I was thinking if maybe each member ordered different cultivars it would maximise the number of varieties reaching the USA. Then you all could trade chicks at a later stage .

Very Important
Remember to use the German, or correct botanical name for your lists.

But it is a good idea for duplicate in two or three collections, insurance against loss.
I lost 'Vanto' from last years Euro semps, and no one else has it. Sad

I see that the last post here is Jan 30. Has this order already gone to Germany or is it still possible to participate? If it is coming to Perennial Obsession I would be willing to drive down there any days but Sat. and Sun. to help re package and ship out the individual oders. My winter job is repackaging and shipping lilly bulbs from Holland to Everywhere U.S.A.. It can't be that different.
