    Gosh for a minute there I thought you were talking about one of our seed collections!!! :D :D
    I think Kew and other botanical gardens do a wonderful job saving seeds from plants that are near extinction, or already extinct, in the wild. Just imagine one billion seeds!!!! :eek:

    And here I thought it was your own collection, Frank. :-D

    Are you sure you aren't the curator of this particular museum?
