ADIRONDACK ALPINE SEEDS WANTED
I found Linnaea from a lady on this forum. I ordered it from my local garden store. Be careful with a list like this, be sure that you arent encouraging collection. Several of those are listed and we have such little alpine in the Northeast that any collection is detrimental. Collection is the reason Potentilla robinsiniana went nearly extinct in the first place.. I have been looking for years for an ethical/legal source for Diapensia seeds. You may find some of the others from NEWFS.org Good luck.
It took a long search, but I think this should be the same Wood Sorrel: http://www.naturescape.co.uk/acatalog/s-plants.html
Scroll down, and Oxalis Acetosella is listed under Sorrel. It's from overseas, though, but it seems to be a good price.
