you guys are lucky to get couple of items in good condition, I ordered 4 types of Lilies for my self but they refused two and the rest of the two are all rotted corms that I recieved. I will return all of them and they dont seems to be good vendors though they are one of the big vendors in UK

That's sad. What was the reason for refusal?Hamad wrote:you guys are lucky to get couple of items in good condition, I ordered 4 types of Lilies for my self and they refused two :( and the rest of the two are all rotted corms :( that I recieved and I will return all of them. they dont seems to be good vendors though they are one of the big vendors in UK

Could you recommend a reliable seed seller from USA (my interest is mainly in tropical fragrant plants/trees) who can mail seeds directly to Pk?
Few years ago I had purchased seeds from Banana Seeds Inc , but not even a single seed germinated :-(. At one instance the seeds package was never received, (a friend had sent them from USA). Next time I requested a registered mail to Pk...this time we got the package with 0% germination.

The German vendor looks very promising with an excellent collection of tropicals...thanks. I guess you edited the original link :-). Has anyone tried Sunshine seeds?farhan137 wrote:@Farooq Sb......

Farooq I may not be able give you any information regarding USA but AY Kan sb would be in a better position to guide you, I can guide you for UK trade and being a tuber lover all of my experience is related to bulb traders and so far Thompson&Morgan and Van Meuwen are the best and they are sister companies, though they are a bit expensive but their bulbs are top class and I always wait for the right time and bought in offers sometimes even for a penny, Anglia Bulb Company and Peter Nyssen are also good with Dutch bulbs it was my first experience I thought they are one of the big sellers in UK also has couple of sites to deal in wholesale and retail both but quality was disappointing.M Farooq wrote:That's sad.

Regarding seeds so far I only tried Thompson and Morgan

InshAllah there will be no issues with the return and refund I will manage
Thank you for your kind offer but I would like to buy some daylily fans in a group purchase if someone would like to step forward?
