So for the bonus sarrs only the numbered complex crosses are bonusable? I can’t get flava ornata as bonus?
And what all capes were in the mixed capes pkgs? Thanks

Only the numbered Sarrs are available as a bonus as long as you're eligible for them. They have been around for a few years, and we've received sporadic reports of lower germination rates. To give them the best chance, we need to get them out to growers. Any Sarr that is not preceded by a number, 001 through 043, is not available as a bonus.
The mixed Capes have been reported as being mostly Albino, but can produce Albino, typical, red, narrow leaf, or wide leaf. There may be one or two other possibilities, but I would expect Albino and typical being 90%+ of the sprouts.

@ChefDean, out of curiosity, how are seeds stored in the seed bank?

@elaineo, as soon as they are received, they are alphabetically sorted and put in the appropriate file in my fridge.
The numbered Sarrs are in numbered envelopes and stored next to the files with the rest of the seeds.
