| Chimaphila maculata or C. umbulata? I believe I have spots in my yard where it would thrive, just haven't been able to find any places selling it.
Thanks in advance, --Steve |

| Have seen Chimaphila maculata listed by Shooting Star Nursery, so I checked and found they are listing it as TOS. You might check back in the spring to see if they have it available then. I often see them growing in woodlands in this area, sometimes in large colonies. They are difficult to transplant & establish from wild populations. Not sure why, but some sources propose that is is because of a symbiotic, mycorrhizal relationship with other plant material present in the soil that provides moisture and nutrients. That might also explain why they are difficult to start from seed, as a symbiotic relationship must be established for the seed to sprout and develop into a plant, if the seed contains no reserve nutrients. I understand that they are fairly easily established from pot grown plants. Good luck with your quest! Rb |

| Thanks, Rb! I'll bookmark them and check early next year. --Steve |
