WANTED: Asclepias (Milkweed) Seed

I would love to find someone with a few of these types of Asclepias:
A. incarnata
A. purpurascens
A. variegata
A. viridis

I'd also be interested in other perennial types except syriaca or tuberosa, which I already have. I don't know which other types can be super aggressive like syriaca, but I'm not wanting super aggressive types.

I posted in the seed swap forum and got a couple of responses, but when I tried to contact the responders, they didn't respond back.

Helma, thanks but I have A. curassavica seed. Also, it isn't hardy in my zone. I could still send some American Persimmon seeds for a SASBE of you're interested.

Hardy Asclepias seeds sure are rare here on gardenweb!

Brandon, my Praire Moon Nursery catalog has 9 different kinds of Asclepias seeds listed. It lists 3 of those 4 kinds you wanted. The url is:
