Lok, you should update your profile with your location, so we know where the seeds will be shipped from. This is a very international forum.

Hi there!
I am interested in L. purpurata x L tenebrosa. I don't have any seed to trade but would like to purchase some if available. Have you tried germinating these to see if they will germinate? Thanks
Kathryn

[mlorchids]

sorry....have not tried to cross any Laelias yet

[orchiderickson]

If you have any Catt loddigesii I would love to purchase some! Any particular variety would be fine. Just let me know. Also, what other varieties do you have? Thanks
Kathryn

I believe the shipping of orchid seeds across international borders is controled by the CITES convention, and may require CITES and other documentation. It is absolutely CRUCIAL that this be investigated before any seed is shipped as the penalties can include substantial fines and jail time.

Hi everybody
I have some orchid seeds for trade--right now it's Encyclia tampensis, Polystachya concreta, Epid. radican, Arundina graminifolia, etc. more to come as they mature. Norm

Hi everyone,
All orchids are classified under appendix II. In the United States, the members of Paphiopedilum, Selenipedium, Phragmipedium, and Mexipedium, as well as a handful of single species are placed under appendix I. Seeds of appendix I material may not be sent between countries without permits, but it may be freely sent to other individuals within the same country.

i just pollinated my phal. wedding prominade(white w/ purple splotches). it should be ready eventually. i am interested in your encyclia, miltonia, and zygopetalum. any kind is fine with me. thanks

[kmarch]

dionysus and lok,

Please forgive me if this sounds too blunt but I don't want anyone getting into any trouble. Dionysus, I see you are in the US an lok, in Buenos Aires. If the 2 of you are to trade seeds, (ship them internationally) you must have CITES permits and you my need other documentation as well. Trading seeds, in fact any movement of orchid plants, seeds, or plant material across international borders is strictly controlled by international treaties and fedral law and carries stiff penalties including enormous fines and jail time.

Please educate yourselves on what approvals/permissions are necessary to trade orchid seeds. Sending orchid seeds through the mail is not like sending marigold seeds or ordering tulip bulbs. The laws are very strict where orchids are concerned.

[dionysus]

i totally forgot about all those restrictions. things like its cultivar, where you got it, its parents, and alot more. it certainly makes things difficult. never mind about the seed swap.
