I think JL Hudson has a few types of Asclepias, not sure if he has the ones you're looking for but if he does, he's a great source of seeds, very highly rated in Watchdog and I've always had great luck with his stuff.

Hi, Jeff....
Good luck......you can find asclepias tuberosa and asclepias currasavica through the seed exchange, but I 've had no luck locating anyone to trade who has the others that I need. I ordered asclepias eriocarpa, asclepias fascicularis, asclepias subulata and two others from Butterfly Encounters. They have various asclepias...I got the ones for the west. 20-30 seeds per packet at $5.00 per packet. You can tell I *really* wanted these seeds. They germinate best when fresh, otherwise will need stratification, so this is a good time to get them. I've just planted my flats this week. It took about a week for seeds to arrive and they don't send an order confirmation, so if you do order from them, don't panic, they're reliable.
