Looking for woodland plant seeds

Burwash Weald, United Kingdom(Zone 9b)

Looking for seeds for woodland plants. In particular any of these:

Galax Urceolata
Cornus Canadensis
Coptis
Chimaphila
Caulophyllum thalictroides
Gentiana Clausa
Hexastylis Aristolochiaceae
Jeffersonia Diphylla
Penstemon Eatonii

Swap, or I can arrange an SASE to be sent to you. Many thanks

Well, I looked at all of these, and unfortunately none of them are growing in my yard. I hope you can find them.

Galega, you sweetheart. Many thanks for looking - and by the way, stunning garden!. Just saw the picture with the beautiful yellow maple. And the dog house!

You might try this seed place: www.jlhudsonseeds.com
They have a huge variety.

Thanks Pixydish - what a great site, I have bookmarked it! I am sure it will come in handy at another time.

I checked for my particular plants - and alas no luck. I think part of the problem finding them commercially is that they are wild plants, and so it is probably more likely that gardeners/plant-mad people will have collected some, or know where to collect them. That is what I hoping for. so everybody, eyes down when you are out in the woods!

But an excellent source for lots of other things.

Thanks for thinking of me, Laurie

Laurie, did you post your list on the indigenous plants forum? If these are wildflowers, someone may have seeds they collected. I got seeds for a wild mallow I wanted from someone who lives where they grow. She went out and collected some for me.

Hello Laurie:
Among your list are quite a few natives of the East Coast & Mid-Atlantic states (Galax, Caulophyllum, G.Clausa, Twinleaf.) Our west coast native bunchberry is C. unalaschkensis; C. Canadnesis is almost identical. My bunchberry flowers and produces fruit, but they are quickly eaten by birds and I never can save any for seeds. I do have roots of our PNW native C. unalaschkensis, and one of my favourites Maianthemum dilatatum -- the problem would be in getting them to you. As an alternative, I can offer you seeds I collected in July '06 of (Vanilla Leaf) --another beautiful PNW native.

My thanks to both of you - you know, I hadn't even noticed there was a thread for Indigenous plants. I will do that now. And AuNatural I have just sent you a rather over excited d-mail. Delete if necessary!

good gardening, Laurie
