Hello,
where can I get seeds of the stunning new Meconopsis
sinomaculata?
Gotthelf

I imagine you probably saw it, as I did, on
http://www.rhs.org.uk/publications/p...02/newsrhs.asp

I've done a quick Internet search -- as I imagine you have, too -- and
can't find anybody selling the seed yet. It's probably too new a
discovery; and I can't see from what they've put on their website if
the RHS is growing it in any of their gardens. They have good
relations with governments, but China may well have prohibited exports
of such a rarity.

If they do grow it successfully, the RHS will probably in a few years'
time sometimes offer seed free of charge to members. But I can see why
you don't want to wait!

Mike.
