A search technique that often works for this kind of thing is to type in to Dogpile's browser the name of the state, and-- native plant seeds--,f.i. Idaho native plant seeds, or -- California native plant seeds. A list of specialty nurseries comes up, (varies by state) some with catalogs, lists , some with eMails and phone numbers for inquiry. Sometimes a small ecological conservation group is listed that specializes in restoration of an area. I found this valuable when searching for high altitude mimulus. Many leads. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Mace" <mikemace@att.net> To: <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2011 11:58 AM Subject: Re: [pbs] Lewisia > Donnie wrote: > >>> Does anyone know where I can get some less common species like kellogii? > Or > claytonia seeds? > > Sorry for the slow response. > > Your best bet used to be Northwest Native Seed, but unfortunately it's now > defunct and there is no real replacement. > > You can search for Lewisia on the PBS Sources page: > > http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… > > Scroll down until you see the search box embedded in the text.
