Looking for true calla and skunk cabbage

I am interested in finding a source for the plants above. I have heard their are 3 to 4 forms of calla and three forms of skunk cabbage but one is asian so more interested in sources of the american forms of aroids.

Check out heronswood at www.heronswood.com I got both the western native and asian skunk cabbages from here. they are small seedlings but excellent quality.

I am going to be digging up some of the native yellow skunk cabbage on my sister's property to move to my bog. I believe the mature plants have a long taproot, so I'm going to be looking for younger plants that are easy to move. If I am able to get some that will 'take', I might have some for trade. Let me know if you would be interested in trading for some if you are still looking.

Yes I would be interested let me know what you would like to trade for them. Also would you mind takeing a camera and taking a few pictures of them in the native habitiat? I see your in a zone 8 It maybe hard for them to survive that warm a climate I am zone6 I think this is as far south as I have heard fo them growing but I have never seen one here so maybe not? I think the long hot summers really get to them. Not sure never been able to grow one out to see what kill it LOL.

I am happy to take photos for you. They are very beautiful plants with their bright yellow spathe in the spring. I want to dig them before they really get started for the seaon. My sister has several acres of untouched forest (rare around here), with a spring trickling through it. Since these plants live in the understory of the forest, they are protected from the hot sun and the dryness during the summer. We certainly don't have your heat or humidity, but our summers are very dry with little rainfall.
We live at sea level here, very close to puget sound. These plants also grow up on Mt. Rainier, at a much higher elevation than we have. So I'm sure the ground freezes where they are on the mountain. It's probably the heat that goes against you there.

I will get back to you after the digging, which might be a couple of weeks out, but I won't forget. She is moving to Oregon, so I'm getting everything that is native to the area that I've wanted to get since she lived there, but kept putting off! LOL I am working on a thickly treed area of my yard and wanting to fill in with more vine maples, salal, huckleberry.

Here are some photos from my sister's property. I did go out there this weekend and tromped around. I found one spot where the skunk cabbage is starting to come up and I was able to get some plants. How many are you looking for?
Digging these plants is an exerience, I can tell you! First, they are, of course, in swampy conditions, then the leaves start growing about a foot under the surface, and then the roots go down as far as they can. I believe I was incorrect about a taproot (which didn't make much sense to me, given their growing conditions), but what I see is that the plants are quite delicate and break easily. You have to stick your arm down into the muck as far as you can and gently tease the roots free, and then pull the plant out with gentle, steady pressure. I broke several and almost gave up, but then I got one so that spurred me on! It was some fun, I can tell you! LOL When I came out of the forest with my booty, my BIL just looked at me and said I looked like a bushwhacker! I'm not sure what that is, but I'll take his word for it!!

Anyway, here are some photos of the area I was in. In this one you can barely see the bright green of the new leaves of the skunk cabbage. There are many, many alder trees that grow here, and they are short lived and fall down easily. The area is covered with alder limbs, etc. The other thing you see is a kind of wild berry, the name of which escapes me. It has a tall stalk with small thorns (not really hurtful ones), and has a bright pink flower in the spring. They grow all through this area. Right now, the area gets plenty of sun, as all the trees around it are deciduous. I notice that this area which has a running stream all year round is the first area to get the skunk cabbage. The area I was hoping for is a bit dry right now, gets less light, and the cabbages are not up yet. But it's MUCH more accessible, so I hope I get to go back there when they are up.

I dug about 5 plants and they are all doing well. They haven't skipped a beat and are resting in my veggie filter.

You can see the leaves more closely here. You can also see the invasive holly trees that are germinating here. In the previous photo, you may have noticed the english ivy. That, too, is invasive in this area. This part of the property is adjacent to another person's property and is close to a cleared area. It's disheartening to find the holly and ivy in the forest like this.

A shot from a bit further back. You can barely see some skunk cabbage in the middle of this photo. To the left is a large cedar tree. In the foreground the hideous ivy, and a native lady fern. You can also see a green sapling trunk toward the right of the skunk cabbage. This is a vine maple. They are very lovely.

Please dmail me and let me know how many plants you want. I have 5 now, but I will likely be going back to help her out and might have an opportunity to get more. I would like to dig in the place I had planned to go to, but nothing is up yet in that area. I am hopeful that another couple of weeks will have them peeking out of the leaves.
If you have any water plants to trade, I would be interested. I see from your threads that you are mostly into tropicals and hybridizing cannas. I have plenty of cannas right now, unless I lost some over the winter, but I'm interested in what you have that will grow in the pond or in a bog area.
