Hey Chrissy,
I think you misunderstood me - I have a nice Wollemi treeling, about 50 cm high - not seeds. My plant came with masses of "info" - a wall chart of the species genealogy and paleohistory, a booklet of cultural notes and background info on the discovery of the tree in the wild and other neat stuff. The booklet specifically said that the trees were being commercially propagated from both seed and cuttings so I guess they will become a lot more common over time. One of the aims of the propagation program is to make it common enough in cultivation that people are not tempted to try and damage the plants which remain in habitat as has happened in the past to so many wild plants. I find it seriously cool to own a plant species which has existed unchanged for so long. Here's a photo of my baby Wollemi.

Ciao, KK.
