Hi Champ,
the lilac seeds are the lilac tree in which the blossoms are very fragrant.These shrubs/trees are very old trees probably an original heirloom lilac the trees here are probably over 70 years old. when the blossoms come the yard is "filled" with a strong lilac scent. I hear starting from seed takes a long time- but also a money saver if you are looking to create a "wall".

This ointment is not "hard to make", but I believe in conscience gathering of plants, making sure that the plants are gathered at the time in which the plant is at it's medicinal "optimum". I carry this "consciencness" into the making of the ointment, with each step of preparation having to be "just right" in order to preserve the original qualities of each plant.

Nation, Richters (www.richters.com) has goldenseal (hydrastis canadensis) seeds and plants in their catalogue. I ordered some plants a couple of months ago, that are supposed to be sent to me in April-May. The seeds are quite expensive.
