Sources of Bromeliad seed?

15 years ago

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a good source of Bromeliad seed? I'm looking for someone who is able to supply seeds either on a one-off or a regular basis. I'm not looking for commercial quantities. Just any interesting bits and pieces to add to my collection. I'd prefer to pay for seed as I don't have much to trade.

I'm especially interested in species from Brazil, Ecuador and Venezuela, but species from other countries are also very welcome. I'm interested in most genera, and especially interesting forms of species from different populations etc.

Anything interesting or different.

I used to get seed from an excellent source in Brazil, but that source has unfortunately not been available for years.

Hopefully someone can make a recommendation.

Thanks all!

Hi solo78,
You could try either the NSW Bromeliad Society or the Australian Bromeliad Society, I'm not sure which one it is, but one of them has a seed bank and it's run by a chap called Ken Woods and prices are very reasonable.

All the best, Nev.

P.S. Where abouts in Aus are you?

This is the best bromeliad seed source I know. The seeds are listed with the date, so you can decide what could be viable and what not more.
