Alan "Inexpensive" jack-in-the-pulpits would be something akin to cheap coins of pure gold, or an inexpensive pet snow leopard. One moderately priced source is http://www.naylorcreek.com/index.html -- lots of interesting shade plants. If you are knowledgeable enough about aroids to save seeds of unusual varieties you've already had good luck with, the aroid societies & e-lists do a great job of trading seeds between one another's members, though they gotta kinda know who you are, because most people seeking free seeds are just such asswipes, & if you've got nothing great to offer in return, you don't get to play. -paghat the ratgirl -- "Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher.

do a google search for domestically propagated wild flowers
I am sure they will have them. I have them in my itty bitty city garden and they are a nuisance. I have to cut and dispose of the red berry stalk every year or have a gazillion jacks sprout the next year. sooooo if you know somebody with a jack, harvest the berries after the plant has died. separate the berries and plant them.

got a friend with a forest?
I raided my cousins bush and got jack-in-the-pulpits, may apples, blood root, both white and red trilliums, dog wood violets and many ferns. Oh yeah and a few deer ticks. -- Dana www3.sympatico.ca/lostmermaid "enialle" wrote in message ...

IIRC Jack-in-the-pulpits are extremely difficult to transplant. Even if a whole bushel of soil is moved. And, it is illegal in public parks and forests. |
