What information are you looking for? Is it where to get them? How to grow them? Characteristics of the plant?

Basically a little of all of it . Mostly where I can find some. I did find some on one of the gardening sites but I thought the price was a little steep. So I thought maybe some of you out there might have some seed for sale or trade, and could tell me a little about them. The other one I am looking for is of the same species but it is called swallow tail.
Thanks

It's also known as A. chaplinei. I don't know which of the two is the current name, but knowing that may help in your searches. If you are not able to find someone who can trade seeds, they are available from Alplains (an excellent source of seeds of native plants) and from B&T World Seeds - both have websites. They have also been available in the past from NARGS, in case you are a member of that group (one has to be a member to participate in the seed exchange).

Ok tell me what NARGS is? If I can get them I'LL join. Some of the things I want to get a hold of is probably going to be hard too.
I'll try some of the places you suggested. Thanks

NARGS = North American Rock Garden Society. Not much of a website, but the quarterly publication is excellent and there are other benefits to membership.
