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
Looking for woodland plant seeds
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!
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
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.

D-mail me if interested, -Au
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
