supply house. I have used them many times.

Native American Seeds out of Junction, TX. Large variety. Many hard
to find species. Their web site is blast, a good way to 'garden' on a
cold, rainy day. :-)

Otoh, a 'heads up' about Wildseed Farms in Fredericksburg. In
particular their "Texas-Oklahoma Mix", probably the most widely
distributed wildflower mix in the state, isn't made up of plants from
just Texas and Oklahoma. It contains a significant percentage of
non-native species from Europe, California and South Africa. Some of
these species can be troublesome to eradicate once established in a
native landscape. Calling this a "Texas-Oklahoma mix" is misleading
to the average consumer who's hoping to replicate the wildflowers seen
along our roadsides and fields (check out Native American's
"Texas-Oklahoma Native Roadside Mix" instead).

Even their use of common names can be confusing. For instance
Wildseed's "Baby Blue Eyes" is the exotic _Nemophila insignis_, a
California native, not the _Nemophila phacelioides_ which will be
gracing our central Texas woodlands shortly: Some of our better garden
centers sell these as native. Like most of us they make the natural
assumption that seeds sold under a local common name, grown by a Texas
wildflower producer, are native. Unfortunately it just isn't so..
