I am looking for anyone who has done business with Annie's, in Richmond (Bay Area). They have some plants I want, but, never have in stock for mail order. I have called them, begged them for their seeds sources, offered them extra cash to help me out, without any success. The answer is always the same: Put it on your wish list, we will email you. One time I called them asked if they had a Gladiolus dalenii, they said yes, they would set one aside if I would come in and pick it up. I told the young lady that I wanted it for mail order. She told me it wasn't good enough for a mail order(if it is not good enough then why are they selling it?). I told her I did not care as long as it was alive. I was told that it wasn't possible to send it mail order because....it wasn't good enough. They have several plants that I know they stock in retail but are too 'busy' for mail order.

The plants I really want are Sesbania, yellow and white. They set seed like crazy and was hoping that someone might have one or both of them in their garden. I would love to trade for some of those seeds. I have other plants that I would love to get my hands on from Annie's, and would be willing to compensate/trade anyone who might be inclined to help me. Any takers?
