Barbara Hellier, curator of onions at GRIN, asked me for seeds of allium ursinum. They do not have it. Can anybody here send her some, or send them to me?? It would be great to have many sources...

Barbara is wonderful, a fantastic team player, and a great help. I have, last year, split equally and distributed a lot of germplasm to allium lovers and breeders I got from GRIN. I feel lucky,I lost my greenhouses to freakish almost tornado winds...
I would like the people with whom I shared the stuff to come in, and others too. Barbara is a wonderful, sensitive curator, and this huge genebank, the biggest AND BEST in the world, does not have allium ursinum.
This great curator diserves our respect. And mankind deserves the best genebank in the world to have it, given its very able production abilities, despite budget problems I am sure...
Help me please...
Michel

Do you still looking for seeds?
This species is not so hard to get from Russia, but I read they lose viability fast. If that is true the best time to ask for them is July when they ripen.

I am looking for these seeds too and will order them next summer/fall once I'm settled onto the farm. Of course, I'll share!

I can pick them in the nearby wood, if somebody will remember me to do so in June. They grow in thick carpets.

Thanks all of you my friends. if we have more than one source it would be even better. Same thing would apply to allium victorialis if anybody has any.

I have seed of Allium victorialis from 3 sources (one from the Lofoten Islands, the other two garden cultivars - Kemerova and Cantabria), but only small amounts - is that of interest?

Can you send me the address? I'm planning to pack some seed later this week. Anyone else I promised to send seed to? Drop me a line to remind me... Probably a tall order, but the following Alaskan natives are high on my wants list...Yes, I know I'm possibly nearer Alaska than you are (over the pole)? Angelica lucida Arabis lyrata ssp kamtchatica Arenaria peploides Claytonia acutifolia Claytonia eschscholtzii Claytonia ogilviensis Claytonia sarmentosa Claytonia scammaniana Claytonia tuberosa Plantago macrocarpum Ranunculus lapponicus Rumex arcticus Saxifraga nelsoniana Saxifraga punctata Senecio congestus

Hi Michel, I harvested some small amount of allium ursinum seeds last july, but just can't find it at the moment. If you have the address of Barbara Hellier, post it here, I will send her my seeds once found.
