I saw your list of plants you were looking for at the Illinois Native Plant Society sale.

I ordered over two hundred plants from this nursery-
Reeseville Ridge Nursery
512 South Main Street
Reeseville WI 53579
920.927.3291

Several of the plants you were looking for are available at Reeseville. I was most pleased with my order from him which I received this afternoon. I opened the box and couldn't believe the packing. Each plant was individually packed and the roots were in damp shredded paper and individually placed in plastic sleeves then wrapped in newsprint. He hand wrote out the binomial to each and every plant I ordered and slipped it around the stem of each plant. They must have spent 3-4 hours just boxing my order. Nice healthy plants too. Much nicer than what I would have imagined given his pricing.

Like I said, one good turn deserves another. I thank you for all the nurseries you have referred me to over the years and truly wanted to return the favor. I suspect you will end up being separated from a good chunk of money at this nursery.

Oh oh oh, funniest thing. I received my packing list and there were hand written comments regarding the Amorphia fruticosa that they had been "rabbit topped" and that if they didn't survive to just let them know and they would be replaced. I looked for the "rabbit topped" plants and I have to tell you that they were barely nibbled.
