I wanted to follow up on the question we had regarding the minimum number of seeds for Asclepias collections on the last collectors call. Wires got crossed, and I fear I may have confused the issue.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
For clarification, there are no exceptions for any species to the 10,000 minimum seeds for SOS collections. There may be some cases where specific contracts require a different amount of seeds for non-SOS collections, but for SOS you should always try to be
 hitting the 10,000 minimum. If you have any questions regarding collecting requirements, please refer to your contract.</div>

My apologies for the confusion. I believe the standard amount of time it's acceptable to use the "I'm new" excuse is about six months. :)</div>
