German Imported Forms (1982/83)

Codes
None assigned.
History
In 1982/83 I imported 2 forms of a gardneri into the UK from Germany. I gave these to our gardneri guru in the hope he would keep them going. This he did.
Form 2 unfortunately was lost in the '90's but form 1 is still (December 2003) with us.

Notes
Although no collecting data is available for these forms I consider it worth while including this page.
