Hi Kassia! Welcome to NGA.

I bet you could find a LOT of those in seed swaps, especially since many in your list don't list "just one rare cultivar".

The nice thing about swaps is that you can browse many people's offerings and select only and exactly those that you want.

Then you pay postage just twice, but send and receive up to hundreds of packets.

Great deal!

It's difficult to find more than one or two things to swap with any one person. Then it's paying the same amount of postage as swaps cost, to trade with just one person.

I love our seed swaps!

Hopefully the original poster Kassia will see this but just a heads up in case you don't hear from her ... It appears this was her one and only post after joining the site on January 9th so she may not be around anymore to see this thread. Sad
