Washington State Officials warm seeds could be invasive species and harmful

The Department says unsolicited seeds could be invasive, and introduce diseases to local plants, or be harmful to livestock. If you do receive unsolicited seeds from another country, here is what you should do:

DO NOT plant them and if they are in sealed packaging (as shown in photo), don't open the sealed package.

This is known as agricultural smuggling. Report it to the USDA and maintain the seeds and packaging until USDA instructs you what to do with the packages and seeds. They may be needed as evidence.

Attention. Plain and simple. Wether good or bad it does not matter. It's what plants crave

Edwina's insides were a rocky place, where my seed could find no purchase.
