It is certainly not fun doing it by yourself.
Wegman's nursery is on Woodside Road in Redwood City just West of El Camino. Roger Reynolds is a little gem hidden on Encinal Avenue in Atherton between Middlefield Road and El Camino.

Wegmans is really good at ordering things for you. They never forget you. Roger Reynolds is a place that you can go and you find something interesting every time. They carry a wide variety but not cheap. More than 75 different A. Palmatum and when I was looking all over the country for a Betula Crimson Frost - they had it already. They will look all over the place for something you want and then when it comes in they are apt to forget you and put it in the general stock. But sometimes it works. It's my favorite nursery. Much better than Yamagami's I think. But that's just my opinion.

This is a photo of my dog Penny standing in a patch of Mother Fern. They call it that because it makes little fernlets along it's stems. It's really a beautiful fern. Stays evergreen too.
