| Thanks Drasaid, I thought about venturing towards NO to check out Banting's this weekend. I'm familiar with the wallet hemmoraging as I visited Green Plant Nursery located south of ATL Metro about a month ago as well as some nurseries around the metro area. Loaded my Jeep up with plants. Picked up some Aster georgianus, Echinacea laevigata, Baptisia alba, Fothergilla major, Iris cristata, Xanthorhiza simplicissima, Hexastylis shuttleworthii var. harperi, and some others native to the Carolinas and Georgia. They are all doing wonderful a month in the ground, but the survival test will be the soon to be appresive humidity. The Hexastylis shuttleworthii var. harperi has survived a year down here and has flowered again. If they survive the humidity factor, I'll have seed or cuttings to give away. Some of the rare species listed above can be viewed on my rare plant database at http://www.gsrcorp.com/tes/rare_plants.html. Actually the Baptisia alba has already gone to seed and the pods are still ripening. I have four pawpaws variety baseball (seedling stage) from Green Plant that I could give you one if I head over to NO this weekend and you are around. Green Plant has a bunch of seedlings in stock, but shipping won't resume till fall. Your garden sounds great! Currently trying to rid my lawn of grass, replacing with useful plants. |

Asimina triloba Paw-Paw.
That and you couldn't possibly imagine what else Mary Ann has there, but a little more than your five-hour window. I ordered some things from there last year and was pleased with what I received. Later I drove up to pick up a large sourwood that couldn't be shipped. She has a lot of unusual stuff! |
