I will ask the board at thier next board meeting, which is at my house in two weeks. That doesn’t sound right. The P. sieboldii seeds are usually too common for most members, so like P. japonica, they are as easy as pie, and very common in the exchanges.

That said, there are all sorts of regulations with exporting seed lately, I am spending $40.00 US for on packet of Primula see from Jelitto, ($most are 26 Euros a packet, and three years ago, they we’re 4 euros). I can get you seed if you email me personally with a way to contact, since to be honest, the seed should be sown fresh in July, when they are harvested, for best results.

I am working my way through the various sources here and at the American Primrose Society website. I found a nice selection at 15 Euros per packet, but that appears to be around $23 plus shipping and handling, far more expensive than paying the $25 to join the APS to get some of their seed packets for $.75 apiece. Am I missing something here?
