I got some PMs from new comer regarding the modalities of the purchase. So this is how it happens.

We decide on vendor
Every interested member forwards his wishlist/ what he wants to share.
after finalizing the order
i will place the order
upon reception of seeds, i will make packets for each member, calculate his/her dues and ask for address for mailing the seeds
Dispatch seeds, whereas member deposits his share to one centralized account.

if any member has knowledge that any item of the wishlist won't grow good, he can always guide us. I have chosen zinnias and sunflower primarily because there is no issue with them. and they can be sown in near future. If more members are interested in one variety we can increase packets. In my experience around 30 packets is no issue.

I will place order on Friday on anyone of the vendor

Farhan, Double Click was a big disappointment when i grew them first time but the plants which grew from the seeds fallen from these below standard plants produced many semi-doubled and few completely doubled blooms...
