LOTUS SEED SHARING

 October 2006: This program is suspended until further notice.

Lotus seeds are available free to those of you that are willing to grow them and share the results with us as to your success or failure so we can all learn from your experience. This offer is open year round and, since this web site is updated on a regular basis, we will place a notice here if seeds are not currently available.

To receive 5 Nelumbo lutea seeds (North American Yellow Lotus):

Within the US, send the Seed Request Form and a 4x6 (minimum) padded self-addressed envelope with 78 cents in stamps. Do not send cash, checks or metered postage.

Outside the US, enclose the Seed Request Form, a 4x6 (minimum) padded self-addressed envelope, a money order in US$ for return postage and any expenses of meeting the requirements of your country (i.e. Phyto-Sanitary Certificate). It is the responsibility of the recipient to provide us with your country's Customs and Agricultural requirements.

Requests with incomplete information, improper envelope or inadequate postage will be discarded.

If you have surplus seed and want to contribute them to Lotus Seed Sharing, they would be greatly appreciated. Send to Babs Ellinwood at the address above.

We will be awaiting feedback once your seeds have sprouted. Questions and comments should be sent to Babs Ellinwood babsellinwood@webtv.net.
