The seed list<br />

2011/2012<br />

Peter Arthurs<br />

Iwould like to start off my tenure as seed purchaser<br />

by thanking my predecessor, David Rush<strong>for</strong>th.<br />

David completed twenty-six very successful years as<br />

seed buyer in what I have come to realise is not a<br />

straight<strong>for</strong>ward job.<br />

As many people are now aware, my great-grandfather<br />

was an early seed distributor <strong>for</strong> the National Society<br />

and I can remember being told this at a young age. My<br />

only thought at the time was “Why would anybody<br />

want to grow cacti from seed?” as my windowsill of<br />

plants had all been acquired very easily from cuttings<br />

and offsets. There are of course many reasons <strong>for</strong><br />

growing from seed, including seeing the wider variation<br />

within a species, being able to select the best of<br />

the batch <strong>for</strong> yourself, and of course the fact that it is<br />

considerably cheaper than buying established plants.<br />

Around twenty per cent of our members buy seed<br />

every year and I welcome feedback on what we can do<br />

to increase that number.<br />

In my first year in the job I have now discovered how<br />

difficult it is to source interesting and different items.<br />

We do purchase seed from various wholesalers, but also<br />

rely heavily on donations from members, both to make<br />

the list financially viable and to add species that are<br />

not generally available. This is especially important <strong>for</strong><br />

the ‘other succulents’ as I have discovered that the<br />

wholesalers tend to ignore this side of the hobby or<br />

charge unrealistically high fees. The seed list is an<br />

important service <strong>for</strong> members and is not necessarily a<br />

profit-making scheme. I plan to include some rarer<br />

seed even when it is not financially viable and this year<br />

I have included Pachypodium geayi. This is limited to 5<br />

seeds per packet but there should be enough packets to<br />

go around and if successful, I will look to include a<br />

greater range of the ‘more expensive’ succulents in the<br />

future.<br />

Jeff Capel kept some statistics from last year to see<br />

what items were in the greatest demand. There were<br />

some surprises, but what stood out the most was that<br />

Ariocarpus was the best-selling genus. This year we<br />

have increased the amount of packets of Ariocarpus<br />

species in the hope that we can meet demand.<br />

Special items this year include Acharagma huastecana, a<br />

new species described in CactusWorld earlier this year,<br />

plus Avonia harveyi described in this very issue. I have<br />

included a range of aloes in the expectation that the<br />

new aloe book has boosted everyone’s desire to grow<br />

them from seed, and a good range of the ever popular<br />

Lithops with two interesting colour experiments<br />

of L. schwantesii ‘Rugosa’ from Steven Hammer.<br />

I wish to thank all the seed counters. These are<br />

Carole Mulheron, Ken Scales, Jim Roskelly,<br />

David Rush<strong>for</strong>th, Alice Vanden Bon, and Ann<br />

Williams.<br />

A very special thank you is also needed <strong>for</strong> all<br />

the seed donators, including Graham Charles,<br />

John Gamesby, Steven Hammer, Marlon<br />

Machado, Robert Maijer, Ernst Mikesch, Tony<br />

Morris, Chris Sherrah, Robert Stephenson, and<br />

John Watmough. Apologies to anyone I’ve<br />

accidently missed off the list.<br />
