I have some Tegucigalpa seeds I can share with you. If you would like send me a pm with your addy. I checked but don't have the Armenian.

This is not an open offer, just enough seed to share with one person, sorry.

I see Tania has it listed on her site, but don't see seed available at this time for it.

Tomatofest has it in stock. Say they will ship internationally at your own risk.

Have you gone down to the Wanted seed trading forum here on Tv and asked if somebody else might have some seed they willing to share and ship to you?
Hi Starlight,
thank you for your generous offer. I still have little hopes to get my stuff from Tomatobomo. As I wrote above I ordered from them because I had a hard time in finding rootstock seeds and other grafting equipment. Since they had a flat 6€ euros of shipping costs, I decided to add seeds of those two – for me rare – varieties. If I don’t get them, I can easily replace them with other varieties. It just makes mad to see that a vendor doesn’t even take time to reply your mails. Well, whatever if they don’t care about their reputation.
Some three weeks ago I placed another order with a one of my workmates at Tomatoeden a Polish vendor. The first shipment got surely lost. I wrote the company an e-mail and they replied right away saying that they would have tried to resend me the seeds the following day. This was last monday. We got our stuff (including some bonus seeds) 10 minutes ago. So thumbs up for Tomatoeden.
It’s really a scandal though that still in 2017 shipments are so unreliable! Where does all that lost stuff go?!? It has to be somewhere. I’m beginning to think that those who work for the mail service might hide or burn letters and packages in order to work less. I have no other explanation.
Back to your offer, thank you but I will try to get those two varieties next year, maybe through the MMMM Swap, and if I never get them, I may send you a SASE in case you still have those seeds. I noticed Tomatofest had Armenian but this was when I already had 99% of my wanted varieties. It would have been too expensive to order just one variety from them.
By the way, how did you like Tegucigalpa?
