Hi all,
I have been thinking about rejoining the International Carnivorous Plant Society but I was wondering what the seed bank looks like over there. Anybody know how healthy it is? Do they have any good stuff? I know this is not a really good time for seeds (although we seem to be doing alright around hear. Thanks ChefDean!) but I was just wondering if things are any better/more lively than when I left a few years ago. Thanks for any input.

I read recently that they have done some work on the seed bank, including purchasing some seeds in bulk to add. There is a new manager and they have been working to get it in order.

The seed bank has been badly neglected for years, but they just transferred it to a new manager who's planning to put a lot of effort into reviving it. So not much there now, but hopefully soon. There were some nice additions a couple months ago though - the newly described AF and "red"-flowered filiformis.
