Hmm... it was around 10 years ago that I first tried some seed from the exchange - yellow and apricot 4n trumpets - didn't impress and I wondered what the fuss was about.
I thought I was the only one who didn't appreciate something I couldn't see.
I also started some Sims' seed about the same time, but asiatics and western north americans only. Wish I'd given his tetras a go - I might have cottoned onto breeding with tetras much sooner.
I hope my Silk Road scale bulblets are going to grow up soon. I want to try for myself how much of a pollen magnet they are!
