I just ordered these seeds from Hazzard's Greenhouse in Michigan. I don't expect them to arrive for another week or so, so I'll post an update once they do. Here are the species and quantities that will be available:
* Geranium maculatum - http://www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=GEMA - approx. 70 seeds available
* Desmodium canadense - http://www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=DECA7 - approx. 220 seeds available
* Gaultheria procumbens Very Berry - http://www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=GAPR2 - approx. 200 seeds available
All three are native to a wide range of eastern North America and need only a short time of cold stratification, if any (so they can still be winter sown). Here is my "wish list." Most of these seeds won't be available until early summer at least. But if you own some of these plants, let's talk! I'm perfectly fine sending you my seeds now and waiting on yours.

Three native species for trade
Oh, I'd love to trade for some of your Gaultheria procumbens seeds!
Is Physostegia virginiana the "ordinary" type of Obedient Plant? I have trade seeds of that in a couple of colors... I think I've also got some Liatris spicata seed. I'm not sure if it's A. canedensis or just a red and yellow columbine that looks similar, but I think there are seeds of that in the columbine bag in the fridge.
Are you interested in other flowers, basils, tomatoes, peppers? or purely native plants? If the latter, you may have to bear with me as I try to figure out which seeds in my stash might be natives in your area... :-)
Thanks for considering a trade!
I'll send you a PM Monday; I'm just heading out of town now, but this sounds good to me so far. :)
OK, we'll work out details of the trade Monday.
Have a great weekend!
Thanks! :-)
Hello, I see you are going away but wanted to offer you 5 seeds of ipomoea pandurata and I have some liatris punctata if you are interested for a few of your Desmodium canadense. Hope to hear from you.
Thanks, Ronnie
Update: Following trades and winter sowing, I have these quantities left:
Geranium maculatum - about 25 seeds
Gaultheria procumbens - about 90 seeds
Desmodium canadense - about 190 seeds
I've also expanded my want list a little bit and have put it up on my DG tradelist.
