I'm looking for seeds that are true natives to my home state of IL. Some examples are; baptisia australis, sweet black eyed susan, and New England aster. Don't ask me how the last one is a native to IL; I haven't got a clue:) If anyone has any to trade or share, check out my trade list or e-mail me about other things I have for trade!
