carry the cannisters of wildflower seeds but I didn't see them this
year. The also had big packets, that held the equivalent of about a
dozen little packs for 88 cent.

I bought of box of wildflower seed mix at a dollar tree store (yep,
for
one buck) but they sold out of them very fast. They had the
cannisters
of wildflower mix at K-mart in the martha stewart gardening
display...it
was something like 13 bucks but I bet it would be cheaper to buy your
own seed and mix it with vermiculite.

Another online resource for wildflower seeds and the cans that you
wrote
about is:

and
quantities here.

I do like the effect but the seeds I used were $6 for a very small
pack.
I've heard that you can buy a can of wild flower seeds from some
where
(Home Depot, etc.?) but I'm not sure. If anyone knows of a national
chain store that carries relatively inexpensive wild flower seeds in
larger quantities than little packs please let me know.
I won't use them this year but I would like to buy them now if they
are
still available.
Johnny's Seeds has a particular wildflower mix, Northern Lights, that
I
bought a couple years ago, and I have been very pleased with the
results. They reseeded themselves last fall.
I just bought a packet ($1.50) but they have the seeds in quantity
too
(1/4 pound for $25).
I ordered by mail but they have a website,

One of the best for Southwestern native seeds is Native American Seed :

probably not cheap but very good quality.
Have Fun
